Default Wheel colour help

Hi all,

My wheels are looking a bit tired and I am going to get them refurbed.

I need to decide on what colour to get them done.

options are:

Matt Black
Gloss Black
Anthracite
Silver

They are 18" OZ Ultraleggra's. Opinions please?



Finally, I know this is a big ask, but if anybody is willing to Photoshop the wheels in the different colours I would be really grateful. I don't want to make the wrong decision as to which colour to go with!

Many Thanks

Do you have a bigger photo? I'll have a bash at Photoshopping it, but it's almost impossible with a photo that size.

some wheels suit black - not sure if they do; someone need to photoshop

based on the picture i'd probably go for the same colour. or maybe a gun metal shade to tone it down.

Black wheels look terrible on a black car - it looks like you don't have any, gloss finish or not.

Anthracite or silver, with silver my preference - the bling contrasts well with the dark paint.

That explains it then. I thought it was just my Photoshopping failing me.

GrittyShaker - Thanks I really appreciate that.

Any chance you could do one with Anthracite?

This photo should be slightly better quality:

80 pixels wider.

Best I could do. Sorry it's a bit of a mess, but it gives you a rough idea. Much better than black.

I quite like that dull bronze / gold look that Guiness ( Heston) has on his.
