Default Wheel colour change

Well looks like I'm keeping the car as got a set of black Ksports coming soon

So think the wheels need cleaning up

Change them to another colour or redo as they are?

All opinions welcomed

Thanks

I agree with the crowd....keep them how they are mate, they look good!!

Just please don't paint them some disgusting track-day color like luminous green or bright pink or something. Still can't understand why people do it??!!!!!

Not thinking of going for anything random but they need refreshing. So was wondering if it was worth having a slight change?

Great minds think alike. This was mine for a few years


Now it's like this


I've got to say that your car is stunning though.

Now thinking of going new wheels

If these as 17x7.5, with 215/45/17

Would there be much noticeable difference running 17x8 and keeping the 215/45/17 tyre size?

As in the alloy becoming more prominent?

Sorry fella, strayed a bit off topic then. If you want to play safe, they look good as they are, but if you decide to go for a major colour change, you'll have positive and negative comments. If you can deal with the negative feedback, go for it.

I have just swapped my alloys for a the set below. I asked for bronze but I picked the wrong the colour myself and got a burnt orange colour. The colour is Nissan Le-Mans sunset which you see the 350z in



Although the colour I picked was wrong, it don't look bad against the silver, would suit a darker car better though I think
