Black alloys? Ypur thoughts pls

I've got gloss black wheels on my lumina orange and it really does look sweet as, picked her up yesterday and the pics don't do the colour justice IMO the best colour for the cupra but I might be being biased lol

Go for it if that's what you want, at the end of the day it's your decision, what colour car have you got

i want mine done in gloss black too, i know its not different or original but i think it looks good.

think i'll get mine done up in birmingham at laptab or whatever its called? they seem to get good ratings

I got my wheels done gloss black,looks good and matches the other black bits,grill,pillars etc...i hope to get the roof done black soon too........

Would love to get my OEM cupra wheels done in that colour. I know its anthracite but not sure where i'd get that colour paint from

You got a pic looking side on?

^^^ as above please mate, any more pics?! My LCR 225 wheels are going for a refurb soon and I can't decide on what colour on a black LCR, was thinkin metallic anthracite / black chrome etc.

Have one somewhere on me phone, will upload tonight. That colour is the standard anthracite used by the wheel specialist. After some kerb action in the ice in Feb I got all four done for £250, it's slightly darker than they came from BBS.

Steady away! There website looks good - that Satin Matt Black looks pretty cool too. Got a place near me in Leeds too - thats a bonus.

I always prefer to go somewhere thats been recommended. I could tell Seat had refurbed my wheels before i bought the car from them. The lacquer had started coming off so i got them to re-do them and its happening again 3 months down the line...

That's the p[lace I used in garforth, very friendly and good service. Probably worth a trip down as they have all the finishes for your viewing pleasure.

anyone thought of matt black on a silver lcr, i'm still trying to keep the street sleeper look without drawing too much attention to the car so not a fan of shiny wheels.

any thoughts of matt black like a dull colour wheel?


yes or erm NO?

I think the matt colours tend to look best with the solid (non-metallic) paint finishes such as the orange and yellow cars.

I would imagine it would still look good against a silver car though...
