MY,

Go for Gold!

I saw Ian Grattons P1 with the 18" P1 Gold Wheels and it looked superb.

Cheers,

Ian.

P.S. any more progress on the Lakes camping trip?

P.S. got any cheap old 17" wheels going spare?!

MY,
anthracite definitely........ but going up to 18's is subtle externally, so depending on whether you are a tart or not......
have you got the brake upgrade ?? If I was spending that much, brakes would be first on my agenda (IMHO!).....

Cool

Mellow mi ol' mate,

I went for the Anthracite 'cause I think it looks a bit meaner than gold. Saying that though, the WRC wheels are gold I believe.

Oh by the way I was going to ask you, how are you getting on with the old stone chips?

I've had my car only 4 weeks and the chips are already a lot worse than on my Evo and that was over a year old! It's hard to believe that it's a new car as the front is already starting to look a bit tatty. Did you get yours sorted?

Are you gettin' the brake upgrade too?

Cheers, MS.

It's gona be sunny tomorrow,have a runthro the Cheshire lanes and check out the Demo

Personally I think it's one for the muppet forum:-

I think I like it, no I don't, it's horrible, dreadful, well maybe not that bad, oh perhaps it's OK, no absolutely wonderful, but anthracite looks so much better.
I don't know its a bit common isn't it,but Golds a bit tarty, worth it to upset Pete Lewis, yes but I don't think I like it. No it's horrible, dreadful, well maybe not that bad, oh perhaps it's Ok,............

Hope it helps m8

It all depends on your style of wheel, if the style is similar to P1 wheels then stick with anthracite, after all they are the new gold
have you had both colours next to the car, I was totally lost when getting new rims for ours, but when we put the options next to the car you just follow your heart and trust me you won't regret it...

Be good...

Anthracite - having seen 18" gold on a P1 and 18" Anthracite on a P1. Gold looks good, but I do prefer anthracite

Anthracite would have been my first choice, although I must say Russ H's car is very nice with Gold (got the poster on the office wall Russ)

Jake, not surprised you prefer the gold (we met whilst you were having your six pots fitted)
