Wheels could do with a  refurb. Have got 17" Rota alloys. Never 100% sold on them being white -  thinking of gunmetal grey. Anyone here have this colour on a Fab?

Any chance of a pic of the whole car so I get a better idea?

Thanks...

Black on a whole car..

 Sorry no Gunmetal Grey, but there were some on Google Images when i last looked. Cant see them now.

 

With a Green vRS and White roof Grey might look best.

Personally i like the white wheels you have since the roof is white.

Why not try Plisti-dip on them and see what they look like.

Reckon I'd need a lot of tins to give complete coverage.. major colour change from original white so would need to get all the way in through the spokes. 

Really i meant buy 1 can and try a wheel and see if you like before doing them or having them sprayed or powder coated,

or just Plasti-dipping & leaving you to be able to remove and have the wheels original again.,

and you do not need loads of cans of colour or shiner.  Coverage of the white is not difficult.

(Are they just the original finish now, ie the white ?)

Yup they're in original white right now. 

Been recommended this lot http://www.threesixtyalloys.co.uk not far from me. Just need to find best colour & finish. Thinking metallic gun metal. 

 

Different green, but this sort of wheel colour & finish I like. Another got something similar on a Fabia?

Monte wheels refurbed gloss black just refitted and the other pic was the gunmetal they wer if that helps? 

 

I'm not sure what to do with my Monte, it's white with all the usual black trims. The standard black wheels match the car but I hate black wheels, just look like steel wheels most of the time and makes the tyres look a wierd

colour sometimes.

 

Im thinking shadow chrome or somthing like that so they stay dark but don't look like steelies!

This sort of thing.. only real uncertainty is with the white roof now!

I like.

Just get the roof wrapped to match and contrast the green.

The roof option colours were on configurators including a silver then not many seemed to be sold.

White roof, Green car, grey wheels! Might look a bit strange! roof wraps are about 110 british pounds coins so might want to match with the new wheel colour
