Wheel refurb time - Which colour: keep gold or go black
Appreciate your views on which colour to go for as I will be starting the refurbing of my standard wheels next weekend.
Track day wheels are already black.
Thought maybe to keep standard setup of gold for daily use and black for the track.
The car is a 2007 Hawkeye in WR Blue.

IMO black wheels dont suit a blue car, white is a better option

With that choice, it has to be gold. Everyone has black, don't be a sheep.

Anthracite. Don't like black personally. They look good until the tyres get drity then the wheels look darker than the rubber which just looks wrong

White was a option but the design of the current wheel might look odd in white unless I pickup some wheels which I can spray white
Thanks for the comments

Am now thinking I've got to do something different with my wheels, the local boy racers in their pimped up fiestas have copied my black wheels with red reflective rims

On my WR Blue - I've had gold, white & black....... white was a pig to keep clean, even with half a pot of poorboys on 'em..... black looked "mean", but everyone else seemed to go black after I did so it almost became too common a colour ......
I've now gone silver, and they do look different from the rest of the usual options...... might be worth you thinking about that colour..... I believe "In the Sticks" has these as well and likes the colour difference as much as I do.....

Such a honour to have a post by kin quick
I do like the wheels on the blue scoob.
Are they PFF7's ?

Just for you Andy
They are indeed PFF7's fella, they were gold for about 6 years and think they looked much better in silver - should have kept that car
