Hi Folks,

The Mrs wants the wheels on her car refurbished in a month or two (once the weather improves).

I've suggested changing them slightly, maybe going anthercite etc.

Any opinions/suggestions and importantly photoshops of examples would be a great help.

The car & wheels:

anthercite would look good, or even a dark grey, but dont go down the black route !

Don't laugh but what about Red or White?

My mate had speedlines painted about three different colours mixed like a pearlescent i suppose, looked amazing though becasuse of the different colours in different lights.

I'd stay the same Keith - A nice freshen up with Star Silver and plenty of laquer

Or experiment and see what other shiney shiney silvers there are out there

Maybe Audi or BMW will do a very deep shiney silver :)

Get the fake spilt rim bolts welded over and smoothed, then a nice grey metllic would look nice. Or go like i do, get an untinted silver, it will look so bright and clean to the silver of the car..

what about an aluminum grey rattle can with loads of laquer lad would give it a slighty polished look without being over the top

This man speaks sense. I'd not be so keen on grey when nothing else on the car is however.

Clean silver looks awesome, but its one you'll need painted by bodyshop (well its one you'll need to mix up and such) but it looks so nice and is proper bright clean silver.

Peugeot Steel Grey. Deffo not Black & Star Silver will look pants compared with the silver they are now.

Just saw this and thought of you and Terri Ann mate. :) Maybe a colour coding theme, wheel or colour idea for the future?
