Default What colour wheels?

Hi, once the snow has f_cked off I will be getting my wheels refurbished(yet to souce somehwere local).

The thing is I may attempt a different colour, so I was hoping for some feedback, White was my first thought, any suggestions ?

These are the atandard UK300 18" Oz racing ones that will be getting done. I already have a set of 17" OZ racing alloys as back up, so no panc to get it done

Thanls Rob

Blue with White seems to be an excellent yet classic combo....

Looks like white is the popular option. I have been told about a company the Blackburn way that does the job for £15 per wheel in any colour, sounds too cheap!!!

Also been told about another reputable company around me for £30 a wheel and i have seen their work, top marks!

Any ideas for me, north west area?

The original gold looks really nice, but just want a change especially as i have a spare set of anthracite to revert to if im not happy with the results.

Black sounds interesting

Thanks for the input guys

Thnaks for the work pal, looks good.

As for the Baeutifuly cared part.... money pit mate!!!

Body work needs a little tlc, again just want the snow to 'F' so i can get the car finished. Its been a mini project, shame i havent posted it all though.

Fancy trying some OZ racing 18" in white? lol

These spurred me to lean towards the white option, but I know the OZ racing wnt give the same aggressive look

Yes this i'd like to see too.

Another question that has really got to be answere, is the cleaning side. Ive owned 3 white cars & 1 Black car, and found that they are a nightmare for looking filthy, wheras with other colours you can get away with it a little more. Would this still be the same with the wheels, I mean white wheels with daily grime, brake dust and Grit at the moment must be a nightmare?

Has anyone experienced this and wished they hadnt bothered or actually changed the colours because of this?
