opinions - matt black or gunmetal wheels

GeraintUK · 29th July 2013, 14:32

Guys (and occasional Gals),

I've got my wheels off and ready to go for a refurb.
I popped in there this morning to see if they could indeed refurb the worst of my wheels and I had thought of Matt Black powder coated finish, but then when I saw the finishes my eye got turned to the Gunmetal colour they had.

Now i've no idea which I really think i'd like to go for.

Car is Trophy Blue and i've seen a couple of blue ZT's with black wheels and was more impressed than I thought I would be.

So if it were you, what would be your chosen option ?

I rather like white as wheel colour for Trophy Blue, sorry to suggest yet another colour Geraint

Had black on mine originally, and I thought they looked quite good personally (although others won't agree) but then switched to stock and they edge it for me in all honesty.

I saw some shadow chrome straights at Wolverhampton and thought they looked great. I'm thinking of doing that colour and adding some rim protectors in blue to give them a nice pinstripe look...

Might give you an idea

It would have to be stock or white for me.

as i should of said, in case it changes opinion, mine are aftermarket 19" wheels, so there isn't a factory finish as such

(and the calipers are porsche yellow - always planned on a dark colour ya see)
