Wheel colour opinions please

Evening Zedz

I have collected my car two days ago and I want to change the wheel colour please see attached photo,
I’m going for more of an OEM clean vibe than the stealth look so what colour would you choose please?

 

[Argyll Andy]

No help at all but funnily enough when I saw your first pictures of the car I thought those wheels in that colour looked fantastic

 

[Mr Tidy]

I think they look pretty good as they are. I certainly wouldn't be getting a refurb just for a colour change, as with my luck it would only be a matter of time until one got kerbed! :lol:

But if you want a more OE look surely silver is the only choice?

 

[mr.tourette]

I quite like them as they are but if you fancy a change then bronze works well with black, shadow chrome is always a popular choice but been done to death

Like AA and Mr Tidy, I aos thought the wheels looked pretty good and suited the car but if you are set on changing the colour then it has to be silver.

I went through this a few months ago and stuck with OEM as it is probably best when / if I sell the car

I agree with the previous reply’s, they look nice as are. I’d happily swap my silver OEM wheels with you

OK I’m hearing keep them as they are!!
But I do want silver so if anyone has decent 19’s in silver for a swap I’ve got 24 hours before the firm collects my car

Then if no one wants a swap and you really want silver then have them done - it is your car and you have to be happy with it.

Is Deebs kidding or is he after a swap

Your car, your choice of colour, don’t be listening to us lot

I listen to you all the time - you make me save money so SWMBO can spend it instead

The shine on that top photo makes me think it is Shadow Chrome.

I though about having my 224s done in that, but the problem is it involves one coat of silver and one of black so the final colour varies according to how it is applied - and it can't be replicated if you scuff one!

So I just went with what the refurber described as Silver Glitter, which is basically silver with a bit more sprakle.

Photo is the only one I could find.

I think mine is silver glitter as well - looks good to me, I wanted shadow chrome but was put off by having to do all 4 if I scratched one

I think those wheels are great, alas mine are only 18s, so I don’t think I’m bringing the right sandwiches to the table.

Yep no quite the same there - least it has given him an idea to ask for a swap

 

[ZedsDeadbabyZedzdead]

Ok can we at least agree that the wheel colour examples I sent are not called chrome please?

They just look like silver on the cars but the wheel itself looks slightly darker

Don’t you worry, when the time comes I’ll encourage you to spend and SWMBO will fall out with you. Not me when that happens

Oh she will know its you - you're just lucky you live 400 miles away from her, just imagine we all turned up there with our better halves saying you made us do it, you would need to emigrate

This is the general vibe I’m going for a nice clean and fresh look
