Default Help picking wheel colour

Well I've finally got a set of 17" wheels. I was going to do them anthracite, like my 18s were, but I had a photoshop done with white too. What do you think looks better out of the two colours.....

I had Inovite redlines but they were 18s. I had 17s on the car when I did my trackday and the it felt so much better balanced hence changing my road wheels for 17s too!

Anthracite just shades it for me, car looks spectacular in that colour btw. Still love the work done on the front bumper... very neat indeed

Most times I,d say anthracite, but I think your car suits white better. Steve.

Anthracite :-) for every day use
white for shows/meets

my hubby has white on his car and they are a pain in the ar@$ to keep clean if you use the car every day i have actually cleaned his wheels more than he has as he has given up with them.

I don't mind the cleaning as mine only does limited miles so not an issue for me.

It's a draw Trev, what you going to do now?? I know I said white before, but I prefer the anthracite as well now, mind you the shop is so awesome it probably makes it look better than it would be in real life
