silver or black

[hopey-182]

not sure if i fancy a change on my titanium 182 ive had the car 7 years and the standard wheels have always been silver. i went through this before but played it safe and stayed silver what do yous think stay silver or gloss black or dark gloss grey the car sits nice on sportlines thanks,

Plenty of others have done their wheels black, maybe a quick search might be of some use. If not, a Photoshop. Unfortunately I can't help with either :rasp:

ok mate ive looked at plenty of pics i think its just im used to the car looking the same since i bought it new 7 years ago. just need the courage to try something different lol.

These are standard 182 wheels in gloss black.

see now liam i think that looks tasty does it still look loke that mate are they wet painted or powder coated because i want a high gloss finish,

If you're going black (especially gloss) then be prepared to use a fair amount of tyre shine, as the wheels will be so black that the tyres look brown in comparison! It's a good look though, black on silver, when it's properly clean.

yeah ive heard that about tyre gell with black wheels jesus but i should be ok ive always fanyed on keeping my car clean do you suggest wet painting or powder coating mate.

Thats my brother (Steven r) car. They have been powder coated gloss black.

They are very shiny!

Powder coating will give the best finish IMO and definitely last. I'd choose that over painting as a permanent option as long as it wasn't too expensive.

How about anthracite (like the cup packed cars)?

Keeps it looking OEM and suits Titanium better than silver imo.
