Default Refurbishing My Rims.

I'm going to bite the bullet and refurbish my rims but I haven't decided on a colour as yet. The Car is in Moonrock so I'm guessing Black would be the most obvious choice.

What do we all have here? any pictures I can compare to maybe?


Thanks.

Think I prefer gunmetal to black for Moonrock.

I had mine done in Black Chrome a few years ago, they really need doing again now but I'm replacing them soon with some different wheels (will refurb original wheels eventually ready for when I come to sell the car in the future). But I really like them like this and they suited the moonrock just nicely.

These pics are from just after I had them done.

The gun metal looks brilliant in that above picture. I find that black detracts from the shape of the wheel, which is something you want to highlight.


I'm always partial to the bronze colours. I currently have a light bronze which I'm a little unsure of, but the BMW A32 Sepang Bronze looked great on my other set of wheels. If you wanted the Volk/Ray's anodized look apparently the Fiat 750 Marron Volciano is the right colour (http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-tir...nze-paint.html).

I don't like black all the shape and definition of the alloys gets lost.

That colour looks amazing! If I was buying a new set of wheels for my S, would love a set in that colour.
