What colour wheels on a black superb?

[Rob8980]

I'm going to get my wheels referbished as the lacquer has started to peel away.

Was thinking of changing the colour of the wheels while I'm at it. The car is a black 3.6 twin door with the standard 18' rims.

I'm thinking some kind of gun metal colour. I don't want anything to in your face, just a change really.

Has anyone got any recomendations or pictures they can share?

Black paintwork with black wheels can look nice http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/314532-black-36-v6-estate/

Another vote for black. The batmobile looks awesome.

I would advise you to buy new wheels rather than get your current ones refurbed.  A refurb will cost you £280-£300 and you're stuck with the same boring design.  There are some VERY tasty wheels out there for c.£400; even if yours are shabby they should fetch c.£200 to put towards a new set.  It will then feel like a new car for an outlay of c.£200.

 

Here's what I did:

Gunmetal would be nice...but then again i like contrast. White or bright blue?

Thanks for the opinions guys.

I'm not brave enough to go for white or blue. I want a subtle look. This is why I want to keep the origional wheels.

I have been quoted £50 a wheel. Does this sound about right?

Sounds very good; I couldn't get a quote that cheap, even from back-street shysters.

Black car+ gunmetal wheels is spot on.

Prefer it to black and black

Not a Superb, but grey with black.

Nice wheels, but they'd be a sod to clean! I had multispokes on a previous car and looked spot on when clean but drove me mad when cleaning them.

You should try cleaning the sirius wheels, again look great when clean but a real pain to maintain.
