Shop my Wheels (LCR)

[browno]

Hi all,
I have just had a spare wheel for the LCR delivered (mine was AWOL), which could do with some attention, and the rest of the rims are desperate for sorting out - so I'm keen to get them refurbed ASAP (any luck with sorting me a price, Fred?).

The dilemma I have is that as standard they're somewhere between silver and anthracite (silvercite?). I want to go either a proper clean silver, or an anthracite like the 182 rims but can't decide which.

Can anyone do me a quick PS to compare the two options? I am edging towards anthracite at the mo, but am still wavering a little bit - hopefully the collected wisdom of CS will help me make up my mind!

Cheers!

it'll be £50 a wheel (inc tyres off and on) any colour you like!

(because they're 18's, i'll have a word and see if i can get it cheaper)

Trophy grey would look good on them (darker colour than you have now, and its a gloss finish)

Thanks Fred - That sounds great to me, and I think trophy grey will be great, I was after something with a bit of shine in the finish, as I think the main problem at the minute is that they are a really dull, flat finish.

Is there any chance of getting them done next Friday?

Thanks for the ideas guys - had thought of both white and black - but have seen pics of an LCR with white rims, and it looked a bit wrong, just too bright, and would be a pain once they've got some brake dust on them...
There's also a few over on SCN with black rims, which I am not too keen on, against the red - so it's somewhere in between!

To go with the red, i thought either silver to bring out the wheels a bit more (which really suits silver LCRs) or darker without quite going to black -
which I think is definitely the favourite option at the minute. The Trophy Grey (or maybe "carbon copy" grey) looks nicely glossy and should look pretty good...

I'm definitely swinging strongly towards trophy grey I reckon...

oh - pepsi69, I'm in Belper... Not going to the meet next week, as I'm off to Autosport to look at/buy goodies!
