Should I go anthracite or not? (Photoshop edit within)

[dann2707]

Hey guys.

My wheels are kerbed to s**t thanks to the previous owner/s so i'm refurbing them this week hopefully.

I'm totally undecided on what colour to do them, what do people think? I know ultimately it's my choice but throw your thoughts into the mix

Cheers.


Standard:

Anthracite:

Even darker?

 

[Loz H]

Anthracite or gloss black IMO, both look ace

 

[Steven103]

Gloss black is in danger of looking a bit bad-man try-hard when used on blue/yellow/silver etc?

Plenty of pictures here and on internet of Arctic 182s on cup packed anthracite wheels. Look much better than silver IMO.

Gloss black looks s**t.

Amphasite

Although this pic looks black

 

[Loz H]

I quite like gloss black

But yeah cant go wrong with anthracite

 

[cat171]

I vote amphasite!

 

[Goodj]

gloss white

Gloss black looks s**t.

Amphasite


Although this pic looks black

Oh sweet baby jesus that pic has sold amphasite for me, it's such a rare colour though, can't find it in all the shops i've been in today...

Dad's just spoken to a shot blasters / powder coaters down the road from him at work and the guy said he'll sand blast them if I take the tyres off for a pint so i'm well happy with that!

Are you looking for anthracite or amphasite though? :lolup:

Anthracite or Silver look best for the standard wheels IMO.

Gloss black on blue.

Pain in the arse to keep clean, forever needing tyre gel.

Correct choice!

 

[JackD]

Never been a fan of 182 alloys in any colour, Turini's all the way!

 

[James28]

Gloss black looks s**t unless tyre shine.
And just s**t in general tbh

FLOL! Nice one.

People who think it's called & spelt "amphasite" is turning into a bit of a pet hate...

You know that feeling when someone drags finger nails down a black board? That's what seeing someone say 'amphasite' does to me!
