Gridspokes or 11 spokes on 2005 ztt

ashleywood.ash · 24th January 2017, 00:55

Hi guys
Planning on refurbishing a set of wheels shortly.

Couple of opinions:
- My car is a 2005 ztt in pearl black
- I have a set of gridspokes and also a set of 11 spokes

Which ones would you refurb? And would you go sparkle silver on a black ztt or a grey colour?

I have a brand new set of centre caps for the wheels in silver

Also meant to add that I haven't found anywhere near Sheffield who has responded to me. Are the place in Birmingham still refurbing at £20 a wheel? If so I could drop them when I go to nec at end of Feb and leave them there a few weeks

I would go with 11 spokes and silver sparkle

Go with 11 spokes...then get the gridspokes refurbished and sell them to me

Go for the silver or silver sparkle. I hate dark coloured wheels - they always look filthy even when clean! Also Rover silver is much brighter than other manufacturer's equivalents. My Rover/MG wheels always look sharper than my Jaguar ones!

I'm on the fence, like both sets of wheels!

But, I'd be tempted to go with the 11 spokes and a gunmetal grey with a sparkle lacquer; they'll really set off the car well and give it that aggressive look! The fleck in the lacquer will 'flip' in sunlight and give the wheels a really good look

However, silver with sparkle lacquer would work very well indeed, on both sets!

Definitely the 11s! I love silver sparkle, but also like gunmetal... I don't think I could choose.
