Default Wheel refurb colour opinions?

I want to have my wheels refurbed. I am thinking of having them done in graphite grey, What are your opinions? any colour recommendations?



Has anyone used BJV Engineering - Alloy Wheel Refurbishing ? they have quoted £170 for four wheels!

Thanks

To be honest, WR Blue goes really well with white, anthracite, black or gold so you should be bang on the money whatever you go for with them wheels. I personally like them in gold, but if you are getting them done you may as well go for something different I liked your's on the Superleggra's but these are nicer, and I really like Superleggra's!

I've still got the superleggras, i wanted a set of smaller wheels to use on track. I came accross this set of wheels at a bargain price thanks to Spam_J The car runs better on the 18s, they actually don't feel any lighter than the Superleggra's. I think i should weigh them

Thanks Dan,
