Darker alloys on silver VRS?

[Chickenstu]

Silver VRS in for new rear caliper next week as it started binding again so stripped down today...seal perished and piston pitted.

Anyway.......2 units along from garage is wheel refurb specialist (handy!!)

Considering having the wheels done in "Smoked Chrome" or "Chrome Smoke" (Cant remember the name!!!!)

Basically it's about halfway between standard silver and anthracite....looks good on paper but difficult to visualise on my own car!.....Anyone know of pics of a silver Octy with this coloured alloys....... tried Googling to no avail

Cheers

Forgot to say, but they're anthracite so a little darker.

They both go really well with Silver

Thanks....I'm sure the colour I saw was darker than the Shadow Chrome above but obviously not as dark as the anthracite!!!

Like them both but still sometimes feel that too dark looks a bit like a someone has missing wheel trims from the distance

It is smoked chrome ( the wheel specialist this was mine )

+1 for brilliant silver with black alloys.

Loads of blacklines in every colour at work; however, silver with black alloys look the best by far. My last 4 cars have been black, but Silver Octy 3 with dark alloys next for me.
