Alloy refurb - changing colour?

Featured Replies

Having stupidly caught both my offside wheels on a high kerb and graunched them, I thought I might as well bite the bullet and have all four re-furbed.  These are they:

But I'm undecided whether to stay with the same colour or darken them down a bit.

 

My last car (Saab 9-5 HOT Aero) was a slightly darker blue than the Superb, but looked good (IMO) on anthracite 10 spokes:

I can't make my mind up if the Skoda's five spokes are too wide to darken down too much.

 

Opinions and comments welcomed to help me decide.

Yeah, I'd seen yours Chris and they look jubbly B) 

 

And I've a Wheel Specialist branch about 30 miles away in East Grinstead :sun:  (I'm planning to drop by on my way back from Heathrow on Saturday morning).

Had 3 sets done by TWS now - silver CVRs, smoked chrome Zeniths and my TDs done in gunmetal

If you really want to change the colour, I'd personally go with a very light grey given the colour of the car - I'm thinking the same shade as a Porsche GT3 RS 4.0
