Silver lol

White makes it look like rally wheels and black just blend in. Anthracite are ok but Silver is a nice shiny contrast imo and look bigger than they are

now i would say put the white one's on. black wheels on a black car is just to much black if you ask me. you should really do for a lighter colour wheels.

either keep the silver one's or be different and get the white one's!!!!!

Black wheels just make me think of dirty wheels personally.

What about a nice set of Chrome alloys

What about a nice set of Chrome alloys

chromes are a t*^t to keep clean n shiny im thinkin of changin mine or painting them black

White wheels, as I have on my wrc look ace when clean, BUT they don't stay clean for long.

If you go for white, you may want to think about some green stuff pads or somthing to help keep them clean

green stuff pads lol you are joking arnt you??? thats all well and good keeping the wheels clean but you wont be able to stop the car lol

the worst performance pads around by a country mile

vrshafz, just been looking at the pictures of your car and noticed the reg,that car used to be mine :'( .it looks well with the black wheels fella.have you done any thing else to it

exactly my point. its too much black. no wonder no body can see it!!!!

I thought about gold wheels a while ago and after seeing that photoshop I think they look amazing, anyone else think that or have I to buy a scooby instead ha!

(edit: even though its orange not gold). =-)

The only problem with black wheels is you need to make sure the tyres are kept "blacked" otherwise they always grey.

The problem with white wheels is that you have to constantly clean them and make sure they are well sealed otherwise the brake dust eats into them.

I personally really like silver at the moment having had cars with black, white, orange, anthracite and silver wheels on. Clean is the way forward in my opinion (although I had considered gold OZ Superleggeras)

Also worth considering is how well the features like green calpiers fit into a new colour scheme. I would personally paint teh callipers black with any other coloured wheels

Well, on the Nurburgring last summer, a good boys weekend, we had a range of cars running with a mix of yellow and green stuff pads, and all cars done quite well. So I dont think there bad.

Even had a 9min 30sec lap out of an e30 325 beemer with green stuff running, whats bad with that?....

Hey, Everyone to their own tho :yes:

yellows are not as bad but the greens are shocking

Black - IMHO
