Default Wheel Colour Idea - FCS HELP ;)

Hey all,

Re-spraying me 205 GTi alloys for FCS..

My car is Cherry Red, wanting wheels black or greyish colour..

What colour can i get?

I am thinking, Ford Graphite Grey or Peugeot Cossack Grey at the moment?

What colour is more dark like Anthracite?

Or nearer Black?

Thanks is advance.

Spraying your wheels for 4 days time is not really a good idea

I went for: BMW Sparkling Graphite.

Found it pretty much the same as graphite grey but really pops in the sun.
