Default What colour should I do my wheels

I know it's been asked before but I only put them on tonight and getting them refurbed this week.

Honest opinions please, but black isn't an option.

PS. Sti side skirts and lowering it very slightly will be done shortly too

Gold is great, Bronze to be different, anthracite on those wheels on a silver car? NO.

Anthracite is like the wheels I posted above that I found pics of on google right? It looks nice but again the only colour I can find them in, I think a bright silver would actually look better??

Personally i dont think your wheels suit the blob at all, and painting them in that grey/blue colour you posted makes them look worse. Gold looks the better, and Bronze would look nice.

Really, I thought they did and the choices I could find were PFF7 Replicas or these genuine wheels. I agree genuine PFF7 would have been better but couldn't find any for sale at sensible money

Its your car buddy, its what you like really.

Personally, I hate them, good wheels, but not for the blob. Pff7s much better, and would of taken reps over those anyday! (or saved up a few more pounds)

Put some stickers on, will top it right off

Bronze is good but make sure you do some research into the exact tone of the bronze. Find the final colour with it lacquered.

My mate owns a spray shop and has painted loads of bronze wheels and when wheels are lacquered, it'll make the final colour a lot darker and can turn bronze into brown.

However, saying that. My opinion, stick with gold.
