So after much dithering I've decided to hang on to my mk2 but decided to lavish some cash on it and get my wheels refurbed.

So the question is do I stay silver?

Thoughts......

That car will look lovely with black chrome.  I'll get some pics of mine, 2 mins.

My preference would be bright silver on it

Thanks guys, liking the black chrome, I'll have to ask, otherwise probably a bright silver

I got mine done from The Wheel Specialist for £250. Original quote is £400 but they always reduce it if you simply ask what they can do. As you can see, they dropped mine quite a bit and I'm led to believe that £250 is the going rate for a good powder coating job.

Well they don't do powder coating but will do me a cash price of £180 for all 4 wheels, going for safe silver

Mind sooner these spare wheels go the better

Oem silver looks spot on! I like anthracite/darker grey too but might be a bit too similar to the body colour.

Don't think it's OE silver as he said it'd have more 'sparkle' in it

The standard colour silver should have a flake of sparkle through them.

I got my alloys refurbished in January and went for standard colour.

There's definitely a metallic flake through them. I will post some pics when I get home. As they're on my old memory card.

I'm with Mike in not being a fan of black wheels at all, even more so on a black car, they just lose all definition and you can't even see the wheel pattern or anything ... My cars a petrol blue, I believe it's official colour is satin grey, and I'd love to get the wheels done but I'd be going for a nice bright silver to accent the cars colour.

I'll get some pics up when done

That's better, couldn't bring myself to put the slightly scabby caps on, new ones ordered
