Why go from changing a colour that stands out eg. GOLD to a dismal BLACK??? Seems like madness IMHO.

Agreed, i think we can all concur that black on black is a

My advice: save your £'s and ask these guys before making cowboy mods to an otherwise lovely vehicle!

Totally disagree with all of the comments made above - Black on Black RULES

Anyone got a spare flame suit...........

I have a MY03STI in black and I am considering changing the gold wheels to black or anthracite . Scoobyboy1, How much did this set you back, where did you get it done (I have a few concerns over the durability of the finish)and how much was it?

If you are dead set on doing this at least go anthracite, you would have to be a mug to make the same mistakes as the car above

John you will have to lend me 1 wheel to see what it look like on the wagon.
For me the black on black looks better than gold, brings out the red AP.
How did the tyre fitting go with the new paint/wheels.

Whats the finish like?

Thanks for the comments even the negative ones, My dad and mom have both said they think the colour of the wheels look crap, But I think it looks way better then the gold and make the red calipers of the AP brakes stand out more, Must be a younger persons thing . They look much better in the flesh then on the pictures.

I did the wheels myself so it only cost me about £3 for the sand paper, Did them at my brothers workshop as he has the paint, spray guns and baking booth.
