Not according to the sales market. Sold it in ten minutes with those 'terrible' wheels on and had a queue of buyers offering over asking. :P
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Why ask a forum? Its your choice chum, pick what you like who cares what anyone else thinks......
It's just to see other's viewpoint.
Quite right. That's what the forum is for; discussing things! :thumbsup:

I chose Gold, but a matt bronze would go better, a little less bling

Silver is just a word that boring people use to make grey sound more interesting!

Then again I do have some form for switching wheel colours.

Red and black for me. Gives the car a much more aggressive look, without being tacky.

I have to say I am not surprised by the number voting silver and expected it. Most people tend to stay safe and choose subdued colours hence why most new cars sold are white silver greys and blacks. This is my first black car having always had white or vibrant colours in the past.

But I am surprised by the lack of votes for the black somehow I thought it’d be more popular. I wouldn’t want to go all black because well it’s just too much black but in this case the outer red rim breaks it up and I think ties nicely with the red interior. I agree with what Donz4 mentioned it gives the car much more aggressive look without being tacky or chavy like painting them in lime green or orange. :rofl:

Not for most people I know but the photos don't do them justice, in real life they look fantastic and gives the 294s a differrent dimension.

Those Blue wheels look like they are off a stroller.

not that it matters, but I like the black. Yes there's slight chav vibes, but I hate the idea of not picking something that looks good because of other external reasons.

Looks very nice.

Many thanks blackbay. As you say some might say they are a bit chav but they do look very good and overall suits the car. They do look stunning in real life, though very difficult to capture the beauty on camera for my amateur photographing skills.
