In all honesty I prefer the silver.

Well my car is the same colour as yours, and I have to agree with your sentiments regarding your new wheels

can you give a close up photo of the alloys please mate

Is this any use

Shadow chrome (none powder coated) IMO with black calipers on BRG would make it look very modern as long as it doesnt have the chrome strip on it full length.

If it does then sparkle silver would suit far more.

I no longer have the green ZT I'm afraid but the colour is the same.

Absolutely agree! Don't even like matt silver ones.

mmm interesting views. Thanks guys

I'm thinking I like the idea of the black calipers with the darker wheels ... black or a dark grey maybe. Trouble is with mine is that I do 100 miles to work and 100 back 50% of the time and most of the rest of the time i'm away working all over the shop so the silver generally look dirty anyway, mainly because they are dirty !

i'll have a play with some software and see if I can get a better idea from photo's.

still not 100% but I've kerbed a couple so they need something doing with them ...
This is got to be the best car I've ever owned so I intend to keep it as long as possible and in as good a nick as I can.
