Poll : Darker Or Lighter Wheels



L

Im thinking of getting my wheels refurbed. But I cant make my mind up if I want a really bright silver (saw Gaz whatsanames on here today, looked lovely) or whether I should go for anthracite.. Ive had a quick PS at how some Anthracite ones might look, but I struggled with making the wheels look brighter (so if anyone fancies a go;))

Whaddya reckon?

How it is now. Dull (and very dirty) wheels.

Yes mate 16s, they came off a Cup so have the different offset to give a wider track. Although I cant say Ive noticed. I think Id need to upgrade the suspension to get any real benefit.

My original though was to get them done a brighter silver, as they have previously been refurbed in a fairly plain looking grey-silver .

Any more opinions??!!

Spanner in the works^^ looks good. I prefer the bright silver wheels tbh, but I cant help thinking the anthracite finish would be better due to it being a refurb.

How bright do refurbed silver wheels turn out??

Mate, to be fair bright silver looks good. I do like your idea of colour coding the bump strip ends to match your wheels though, looks good in you mock up:).

Ive just changed mine to the anthracite but to be honest i think both dark and light wheels look lovely...

The only problem with light ones is you have to clean them more often to get that stunning look, the dark you can get away with leaving them i little longer and lets face it most of us what to spend more time driving then cleaning!!!!

Im definitely swayed towards bright silver. Is it possible to get them that bright though? I dont want to shell out a few hundred quid to get them ever so slightly brighter!

lol... I even took the pics down a country lane for you. Those green things in the background are called trees, and believe or not that is a road beyond the M25. You smog breathing, shandy drinking, bum loving fool.

Get silver IMHO. Turinis look the absolute dogs when theyre clean and the light catches em, be a crime to have em done a dull dark colour!

Agreed. Especially on a silver car imho. TBH Im only getting them done because I spent ages cleaning my whole car and my mate said " Car looks nice dude, shame your wheels are stained though".:cry:

Good poll, it must be 50/50. I think the lighter look smashing!

Dark looks like you cant be arsed cleaning, resembling mine which do need cleaning.
