Matt black or anthracite on the iceberg?

[realnumber 1]

Getting the wheels powder coated next week and can't make my mind up. Anyone got pics of the above preferably with standard 172 wheels and even better if on an iceberg.
I'm leaning towards matt black so far as I think it will go well with the rest of the black trims on the car including my front diamond. I will also probs do the bullets at a later date too.

cheers!

If youve got other black details then id go matt black, but personally I prefer anthra otherwise

Although i think the standard 172 alloys only look good silver.

If going darker, i'd choose a different alloy, imo.

Hmm they don't look bad although I think I will be doing my diamonds in iceberg.

Gloss black Dennis, you know you want to!

 

[mullen]

Matt Black like my old wheels

 

[robo_#1]

Miss read your OP didnt realise they were std 172 wheels. Deffinately anthra in that case lol

 

[danjf]

no offence to the above but i dont like matt coloured wheels but then i think anthracite do look good on the icebergs

Looks really good, are they lacquered? Think a bit darker for me though.

Extra £10 per wheel for lacquer where I'm getting them done so not bad. Struggling to make my mind up but I know I want something:dead:.

More pics please.

Satin

Possibly a winner after searching satin...

In fact is this the same? Almost perfect to the trim color.

gloss black or anthracite mate both look sweet!

tough decision!

 

[MK3]

Anthracite always looks great on iceberg's, but tbh i think matt black would look better.

Yeah i was the same when deciding on mine. I even took Bells down to the shop to have a look at the different options. Glad i went for gloss black in the end tho. Matt/satin look v good also, but after cleaning them (for the two days that they remain shiny) gloss black looks awesome.

Don't want silver, looks to standard. Gunmetal might not be to bad though.

Gloss black, I dont understand matt wheels?

 

[whatisjustis]

I've never REALLY understood anthracite. It's always struck me as a bit half-way-house. Perhaps becuase of the contrast against the black tyres.

silver

Minus the random green diamonds this looks sick, in fact the best colour 172 wheel ive seen to date, black *yawn*

Paint work is drool worthy, just not a fan of gloss black :S gotta repect the each to there own rule tho
