Default Wheel - Black, White or stay Bronze

Been thinking of having the wheels repainted but undecided on the colour.

I really like the Matt Bronze look but the laquer is very soft and its been eaten away by brake dust and not the wheels look tatty.

I've done these quick photoshops to see what people think...

Bronze - As they are now. I could have them redone in this colour.


Black


White


Opinions welcome...

How about silver?

The Black looks nice, but needs to be 'balanced' by other blacks on the car somewhere as it really catches / draws the eye on a silver car.

White doesn't look bad either TBH. Doesn't need so much blending as the silver is light to start with.

I wanted to stay away from silver wheels and have something different. Its actually a double function as I've seen a set of 17s I really like and would suit the car well. They are available in all three colours as well so it would dictate which colour I buy.

I was, but the idea has gone now so won't be doing the graphic work.

I'm still undecided. I'm not a fan of Anthracite really, its just a dark silver and I don't think it suits Classics.

The black is growing on me but I do like the Matt Bronze still, its just hard to look after in the winter...
