Lightbulb What colour shall I refurb my wheels? (scoobynet to pick)

I have my wheels booked in for a refurb on Monday.

Still not sure what colour to go with. My car is a white hawkeye, my wheels are Inovite RD21 wheels in gold. I want something different

Think we should do a vote for the colour for my wheels to be refurbed in! I will go with the winning colour!

This is the car atm

I'm secretly hoping gun metal wins. Was thinking white, but not so sure now.

One question though, any idea how and where I can get some nice new wheel nuts, mine are all rusty?

Completely agree. Brightly coloured wheels look s**t, unless you're an 18 year old 'Scoob' owner Bruv.

Go for anthracite.

Ignore my vote.

Gun metal and anthracite are different colours, personally I wouldn't go with gun metal, as it's much too dark a colour. Your wheels will be lost in the wheel arches.

A nice dark gun metal colour gets my vote. Will look superb on a white hawk.

If the car is white then have to be black with a black roof and blacked out windows
That looks the nuts like that

I did mine a custom metallic gray, really makes the wheels stand out in the sunlight. Hard to capture in a photo.
I found the whole gunmetal or gloss black thing has been done to death..

The only way that old heap could destroy a 2004 STI Is if it had a head on collision with one

, to be fair the black mirrors are probably worth another 100 ft lb.
As for the wheel colour i'd go for anthracite.
