im not sure if it makes the car look dirty, but what if the wheels were Black?

Also,

my wheels are wrecked and need 2x tyres.

should i swap my wheels and 170 quid

for some mint satin black S wheels with 2 BRAND (Eagle F1) new tyres 2 x tyres which have 6mm + tread but are mismatching?

P.S I gotta drive 100 miles there and back for them.

black.

and be cheaper to buy them, refurb yours and sell on?

i did mine black recently, you can't see the curbing, smooted it all out and primered it back up

Noo that's WAY to much... i bought my full set of mint vts rims and basically new tyres for £120!

Your better off buying two new tyres (www.blackcircles.co.uk) and painting them up yourself....

If it was my car.. i would spray them as dark grey as i could, but using a paint that had a metallic flake in it, so they still looked shiny :)

if you do do it dont do them black coz will make ur tyres look grey.

i now refirbished mine back to orrigonal look

Did a great job there steve :y:

I am considering selling my vts rims... but i need to be able to afford other rims first... and at the moment i think im going to get my car lowered first... so it's not going to be for awhile...

I wouldn't go black mate. Anthracite or gunmetal will look smart though.

get pics of them but usually the gloss/satin black ones make the tyres look odd and grey so imo i wouldnt but its up to you its your motor

yeah seem more anthracite, get a head on pic of them and do a photoshop on your car as they have left the lip silver so might look odd
