2011 Clio - Powdercoated alloys?

[conormc1]

Hi, got a 2011 black clio dynamique with gun metal alloys thinking about getting them powdercoated gloss black. Just looking for opinions??

Gloss black is terrible.

Gloss black is terrible.

Why do you think its terrible? seen a few examples & thought it looked good

Black is terrible. It looks far too chavvy IMO


Youll probably see this next comment in a lot of 'black alloys?' threads:

My old car had black alloys and they spent two years in the shed because they look gash. They hide the fact you have alloys and generally look chavvy

Gloss black isnt terrible... Alot of people on here will say gloss black looks terrible till they see a Red 200 with gloss black alloys they then w**k themself into a coma..

Gloss black alloys need to be on the right colour car or it just doesnt look right...

This is mine when I had Gloss Black 16" F1's

The right alloys and the right car and you can be onto a winner...

I know what you mean have seen some cars and think it doesnt look good at all .. just think it would make my clio look alot better!

Similar to mine at the moment -

With black alloys (these are only 15" so don't look as good)

I think they look better matt black rather than gloss.

Haha, yeah I can imagine!

Booked in for gloss black in the morning so hopefully it looks good with the car!

Suits some cars better than others, but it's down to opinion. Quite a few cars with black wheels out of the factory.

They do need to be kept clean to look good though.

I know, trying to make a decision whether to do it or not though! Car came with gun metal but I just think black would look better on this car, there is a link to a similar car on previous post above
