Thoughts please?

[Fugster]

Right, thinking about having my wheels painted in a dark anthracite grey, think it will look good against the silver, what do you folks reckon?

[BLUETHUNDER]

To be honest.They look nice as they are.

[Fugster]

Thanks fella, I agree it's just that there are few kerb marks that seem to have appreared recently so need to do a refurb, just had a thought about something a bit darker.... hmmmm perhaps a supercharger might be the way to go... reasoning was never my strongest suit!

[tommyg]

I think if you can convince yourself that a supercharger will cover up the scuffmarks (brake dust?) then go for it!

I have some black spoked, polished rims on order for my black z06, should look good when fitted, but as said above, those silver wheels look good.

It's a very personal thing, but for me, light coloured wheels will always look better than dark coloured wheels. Those you have on there are really nice wheels. If you want some to ruin by painting them dark, I'll swap you mine

[felga]

what is the brand of those wheels ? ARE THEY F18/R19 ? Do You have any spacers ?

Fair point, looks like they will be staying bright silver then, was just toying with the idea as I have seen a silver TVR 350 with the dark spider wheels and it looked tasty! no swap Mr bling rims!

Hey felga, the rims are 18s and 19s, they are Breyton vision wheels, normally found on German vehicles, no spacers required as 10" on the rear and 9" on the front with close to stock offset.

Holy massive calipers Batman, what are you like Dave, that machine looks just incredible, wheels look Fab, not a massive fan of chrome wheels personally, but sure they wont be for sale for long!!

[ZR1cliff]

Fo the original poster, I think the wheels look OK although Dave's wheels also look good. As for you Dave, It's your fault I've developed a serious liking for a C5, Awesome machine
