I have new whees arriving in the next few days and i plan to paint/powder coat them to get them looking new again.

Question is what colour do we think would be best?

Heres the car

And the wheels.

Options are, white again or matte anthracite (powder coated) like these vmr rims.

Or does anyone else have any ideas?

Pics would be good to, of Icelandic's with different wheel colours.

What colour you gonna go for? I get annoyed at how quick my silver wheels get dirty (even when waxed) so god knows what i'd be like with white. Probably have to clean them every day.
