Default Looking to change wheel colour

looking to possibly change the colour of my wheels but am unsure what to change to. Looking for people opinions and suggestions. I just find it a bit awkward to try and match the MCB colour to an alloy colour. Not looking to go for a white, gold , silver or bronze as you can but the work wheels in that colour.

I think black would work best personally. I know black wheels are going out of fashion somewhat so second choice would be a nice dark anthracite.

These wheels would look good without the gay blue lug nuts. Black looks like the hubcaps were stolen. I put OEM wheels (AP2V2) wheels on mine but you don't want silver.

But taste is very personal. I'm told some guys like Lite Beer.

I think your best option is to swap those for a set of refurbished silver wheels with an almost new set of Bridgestones...I may very well have that exact spec of wheel

I know what you mean. I'm in the process of trying to get different wheel nuts also.

Hey Jonner,

Anthracite is the colour for you, save you worrying about having to clean the brake dust off.......as you worry about that!!

Sorry Jonner very much a tongue in cheek response, I realise there is no real comparison but it was worth a shot; I'm a big fan of bronze wheels
