White or Gunmetal. But I actually prefer the ones on the car in the picture. Would look even better if you lowered it a smidge too.

thanks! powder coating a good way of freshening old wheels and more cost effective too was about £50 a wheel from memory..... also with powder coating you can dictate the colour too so you can choose your own unique colour!! good luck and show us the outcome whatever you decide..

They clear Brembo's on a newage, so i don't see why they wouldn't clear Alcons?

Failing that, I'll swap you the 4 pots off my RA
