Default Wheel colour change

Thinking about getting my wheels done, they are original and in straight condition although the years of weights and the odd stone mark has made me come to the conclusion that these could do with a visit to the powder coater's

I do like a bit of originality but very tempted to change the colour.

Id love to see your wheels on a silver car for some inspiration

I have to say the car looks very nice as it is. I would probably stick to gold.
Here's a pic of Fonzey's old car looking the business on white wheels, hope he doesn't mind me sharing it.

When i bought my silver classic it came with 17" white alloys, didn't like them at all.

Other colours i would try is black or gun metal grey.

There's a guy selling some grey speedline turinis in the wheels and tyres for sale section, he's got some pics of his silver hawk with the wheels fitted on there or if you go to the suspension and handling section there's a thread on there titled " bigger roll bars on U.K. roads and the op has got some pics of his silver hawk on standard wide track wheels in gunmetal grey, page 2 I think.

My old silver wrx, i went form black to anthracite and it defo made the wheels pop more, especially in low light. It makes them appear slightly bigger too.
