I've yet to see a gypsy caravan that doesn't look like a coupe...

Having seen the pic that Jonnnnnny posted up, I would go for a bright/hyper silver or a gun metal colour, as your red roof is the deciding factor (which I love the look of) IMHO black wouldn't look right

Im sure Tom wont mind but this is his lovely Zed with the dark gloss gun metal wheels, 224s but mine are 313s but you get the idea, i think this is the colour i need

That looks stunning better than the black go for it

Johnny, shadow chrome looks great.

Get someone to play around with your alloys in photoshop. I would do it but my photoshop computer is in my loft

Can I suggest a different path?
Buy new wheels

I don't like those wheels there to thin and empty and show off the lack of brake disk.
I know CSL have been done to death but it's because they look the part

+1 for black chrome, will look great on the silver car

I would go silver. Having gloss black on my mini, it just blends into the car ruins the style of any wheel. As soon as it goes out after a wash they look so dull and lifeless. I have gunmetal 224s, exactly the same, pisses me off something chronic and with you being OCD like me I would say you'll be exactly the same. OEM silver on the CSL always look good, they sparkle even when a bit grubby.. As is with a refurb would be my choice, they look lovely how they come from BMW.



But when clean look good, but I don't really like the 224s, use them in the winter.











Shadow chrome is nice but suffers the same, any dark wheel does.

I actually think bings idea is very unique and would work with your car... Go for silver with red flecks in the lacquer... Would set off the roof nicely in sunlight.

I was just being facetious, but now you mention it...

 

[the cueball]

silver, silver or silver....

I have Matt black alloys only for winter use... and that's just so they don't look dirty!

 

[johnnnnnnyy]

Its probably too late, I was thinking about this and to postpone it for a few days....
Buy a can of Plastidip for £9 and do one side of the cars wheels in black, you'll then get an idea of how things will look.

Once done and decision made, just peel it off.

Silver + subtle red flake

 

[PerryGunn]

Go red gloss to match the roof... :evil:

 

[Stug]

Oh god...DO NOT go red. ...

And the winner is?
