Anyone had their wheels refurbed and painted darker? I'm thinking of going for a stealthier look and getting my Zeniths sprayed in gunmetal grey. Any pics or links to pics would be appreciated.

I was thinking about doing that to mine. To see what it might look like I just let mine get darker and darker (dirtier and dirtier ! ) with brake dust. As they got darker they seemed smaller, so I washed them. I decided I preferred the stock ie clean and light silver.

You could always paint the wheels on one side with a water based grey paint that will just wash off. This will give you a better idea than photos (somehow things always seem different "in the metal").

Is this the sort of thing you are after?

Look fantastic & subtle IMHO

Damn beat me to it!

Yup, a dark silver/anthracite would look great. What colour is your car?
