As the rhyme goes "Black is kack". Anthracite all the way, my own choice is silver.

My opinion - Anthracite, or white wheels on a WR blue car. Black wheels on a black car , anthracite looks pants they look like the wheels have faded in the sun against the black bodywork.

Similar to the 18" GT1 wheels on the GB270?

only choose black if your going to have a polished rim otherwise they look w*ank. DONT paint them STI 'magenta' or wr blue. Because they also look w*nk. Ever thought of white or light bronze?

if you decide to paint your own i find gloss black is a little too much for my liking, but a matt black like on the elise looks fantastic didn't manage to have the ***** to go for it when i had mine done, but looking at some rims laying around done in this finish they were superb.

i've got 2 types of anthracite on mine and if you do get them done, depending on where you go, see as many colour sticks/templates as you can as i could have picked from about 10 different shades!!
