Silver, anthracite or something else? All opinions please!

Will be getting my F1 Cups refurbed soon now that my insurance claim has been settled and Im just waiting on the cheque!

So should I go for standard silver, anthracite or pink with an orange and purple flip?! Or something else?

Im a bit concerned dark wheels may go out of fashion soon!

Oh the door strips and handles will also be colour coded very soon so please bear that in mind.

anthracite or silver, dont think you should go with other colours just to be different, would look like a FlameRs, so you get an idea of how good it would look:)

anthracite possibly.... anything darker will make the already small wheels look smaller IMO... look at Middo's before he lowered it for an example of what i mean

Thats exactly my worry.

I think your car looks spot on FlameR but just concerned my 15s will be completly lost!

Silver is the new anthracite. Just pick a really bright silver to make them really stand out.

Got white on my car, looks pretty nice, and it's the same colour as yours..

I would go for white, really looks very good in a red car.
Please that car is in serious need of a good lowering.;)

Grey wheels were cool in 2004!

Silver is miles cleaner! And keeps your attention on the car and not the wheels.

i had the same dilemma with my dark red dynamique and i think the silevr looks better as there's more contrast. any excuse for a pic :)

Dammit!

Could someone photoshop one of those pics anthracite.

Its defo between a proper bright silver or anthracite. Both would look great I think but do I go for the obviously modded look or keep it subtle.

And Ive no plans to drop it either!

Anthracite looks ok on silver and black cars only IMO.

Silver.

I'm going with Anthracite on mine though as I just think silver gets lost on them (IMHO)...

Made my mind up to refurb them myself too....oh dear :eek:

ar god damn!

Anth would look s**t hot i dont doubt that for a second I just think it would look too small and may go out of fashion.

Silver may be boring but looks clean and standard and defo suits it as well
