help on wheel colour - Saxperience

I am going to respray my VTR alloys in the next few months (when the weather hopefully gets better) Undecided on what colour i should spray them in...thinking of gloss black or some sort of dark grey colour. opinions are very welcome!

what sort of grey is this?

I had a similar colour on my R

I just got a can of plastikote super gloss aluminium from B&Q. Mine looks more of a dull finish as it was a rushed job & didn't go over board with the laquer etc. The example you've shown seems pretty good!

gloss white or gun metal grey

Rover charcoal grey. Dont do black, grey looks best.

thinks for your input

I feel black will just make the tyres look like arse unless you put loads of time into them as well. Grey will be best. Or white. But then you need to stay on top of cleanliness.

All you have to do to make tyres look decent with black wheels is apply the tyre shine stuff. I use Meguiars Endurance High Gloss tyre gel.
