Okay, my current wheels are slightly curbed and i need four new tyres.

A chap is going to sell me 4 MY03 wheels with newish tyres @ a good price so its worth while getting these as i want some new wheels, i need new tyres and i like the oem wheels.

Question is, im leaving a lip and powedcoating the spokes black, but...

What colour?

Dark gloss black? OR
Metallic black? OR
Dark gunmetal? OR

Yes or no!!

I think a Metallic black looks great with silverstone especialy when you have black leather seats

I went for the graded method as opposed to the hard line. Its easier for them to do apparently as the paint has no edge. Just a thought....

I do like the dark centre with the polished rim though.

When I took mine in the guy asked if I wanted a 'hard' silver line around the rims. This is hard for them to do as it involves taping etc. etc.

He offered to grade them, as it was easier for him to do so and if I didn't like it he'd change it.

This is the result...
