which facelift wheels are they? I have the V2's on my moonrock and have pondered swapping for the early ones or seeing what mine look like in a darker colour

Everyone has black wheels these days.

I personally would go for Anthracite.

Has anyone got any more photo's of dark Anthracite rims on a Moonrock? Not too keen of rims the same colour of the actual bodywork...

Why make the wheels dull and grey on a grey car, those cars look so bland with nothing to break the dull colour.

Have them done in chromed silver or some other such bright colour would be my suggestion.

Grey car and grey wheels = 3 piece suit ...

Bronze. Black looks great on Silverstone,but Moonrock is that bit darker so there isn't the contrast. Same with gunmetal or anthracite.

I agree with Paul here - you need a lighter coloured wheel to make something stand out.

Gunmetal. It's a cliche choice, sure, but then there's a reason why it's chosen so often to become a cliche.. it works!

Diamond cutting also adds to the appeal, not that I'm bias..
