I copied somebody with a moonrock. I can't remember who, but he was at a Donington trackday and had black wheels with the silver centre caps and nuts, and as I saw it I knew that's what I wanted to do with mine. I don't think all black looks nearly as good. But I do like bronze wheels on Moonrock, as you can see on one of MB's many many cars on my pic. |
They do a nice line in dark anthracite Ian ;) It should offer enough contrast with the Moonrock :thumbup:
Ok it will never look as good as on a red car but that can't be helped :LOL: http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b1...g?t=1235931794 |
What does diamond cut mean?
I have been thinking of doing the same as a few on here with my 16" wheels, gloss black on the inside and then a chrome finish on the outer faces. Think it would pretty good on my black car! |
They basically put the wheel on a lathe and skim the face of the wheel with a diamond tipped tool. It leaves a highly shiny finish a little bit similar to a CD.

As a homage to my Civic, I used Ford Graphite Grey on my wheels - it's a graphite colour with a nice sheen and a very slight bronzey tinge;

Carrie has hers done in gloss black on 17s on a Silver car and it looks good - goes well with the pink calipers haha

I was thinking about a dark anthracite on the faces and black(gloss or matt) on the backs, mine are 09+ btw.

For me - nothing but silver works for moonrock. I've seen moonrock with dark alloys and it just doesn't work.. It ruins the look of the car for me. Also not a fan of the two tone wheels some people have done, with a darker colour on the inside of the spokes. Ruins the OEM wheels for me. Just my opinion of course.
If you do have to have another colour I would say bronze works best. |
My old wheels that were diamond cut with satin black inserts
