Cadinum pearl the top one, P1 Anthracite and the polished lip one then the really dark one. Gold is darker than top one.

Noooo, I love the look of your car at the moment, looks superb with the gold wheels, just doesnt stand out enough with the grey/black look.

Thanks Si

Got the mail thanks for that....
Cadinum pearl that looks bright in the pics but with the reflector on it it's not suprising..... P1 Anthracite with a polished lip, now that adds a twist with the lip adding that extra brightness against the rest of the wheel.
I'm unsure about the darkest one Si... you have had the fortune of seeing them all in the flesh matey maybe on a white or silver car for the contrast ?

Was that at Exeter Services by chance ?

Better to go dark than light on a DBM car.

Thanks Si pm received.... one of the boys on the sport site asked if it was Exeter he was about at the time and seen your car being worked on.

Any photoshop experts about that can turn the picture of Si's car above into a DBM colour for me please..... I want to see how the dark alloys would look on mine.

Thanks
Simon

I thought it would be alot easier choosing wheels for somebody else, its not!!!

I agree though, its between the Gold and Steel grey. The gold is a unique colour as far as gold goes.

Si your not giving up are you..... As you know I don't do Gold as a rule but thats a really rich colour... it has something going for it, they have thrown me .... But I do like the Steel Grey against the DBM I think both would suit well.

Well everyone... you will be pleased to know I've made a decision
After rounding it down to Gold and Steel Grey I've gone for the Steel Grey



They fit in with the subtle colour scheme that I have been trying to achieve with the car so far, rather than adding another colour to it.
I got a love hate thing going with Gold one day I think yes then another no and I've always liked the more Anthracite colours... it seems we could all agree on the quality of the wheels but it is amazing how many different views we all have on the colours... still be boring if we all had the same huh


Thanks to everyone for their views on this and a big thanks to Si who's helped me out a lot with this step.


All being well and weather permitting I'll do a few pics next week after I fit them on.... right I need to colour that SUBARU lettering an my brake calipers now

Cheers
Simon
