Default what colour wheel after refurb?

Bought some Honda Access Modulo wheels off ebay (OEM staggered fit aftermarket wheels made by Enkei, got them for a very good price, much lower than they were being advertised at!!) and they've arrived today.

I'm going to get them refurbed and change the colour, but not too sure what to. I was thinking gunmetal, but how would that go on Silverstone? Anyone got any other thoughts or pics of other colours?

These are the wheels I've bought, but on the sellers car not mine.

Love these wheels and have a set. They are prone to scratches if they fall over face down. Mine are slight darker I think and look great on NFR. Get longer nuts from Honda for the rears.

Longer nuts? Was thinking of getting some aftermarket ones but not sure if the face angle would be right for them as they are oem fit? Either way a nice new set of wheel nuts and lock nut is needed too.

Re colour, think I'm still set on a dark gunmetal colour........

Black if you want to match the other posers in the high school parking lot.

You guys really think this looks good?



I don't -- and that's my car! Someone apparently stole the wheel covers!

If someone walks by you car and says "Nice wheels." you've blown it. They should be noticing and saying "Nice car!"

OEM silver especially if the car is Silverstone.
