Don't rule out anthracite, they looked top notch on my MY97 green car!

There's a big choice out there, try and decide on a couple of designs, and make sure the offset is correct!

I had issues with using ET45 wheels on my MY99 car, but ET48 up to about ET55 are fine!

Don't forget your choice of tyres can make a great difference as well!!!

Only get 205/45R17 (Prodrive recommended size) or 215/40R17 (Bigger choice and similar rolling curcumference)

Hope this helps
Andy

Anthracite do look very good on the darker colours and silver. I've got the 17" Raceline RL7s on my MY00 DBM. Very nice in my opinion Chris

There were some good pictures of OZ Superleggeras a couple of weeks back. They're multi spoke titanium coloured ( in between silver and p1 anthracite )
