How about Anthracite?

The reason i thought black was that its going in to get the back bumper sprayed cos some silly tart drove in to me last week and they would have the black paint already?

im not sure though depends how much they want to do the spraying?

I would have thought wheel paint and the priming and finishing of it would be quite specialised and would be different to bodywork. Please correct me if I am wrong and talking rubbish (not a rare occurance!)

:yes Theyll be stripped, sand blasted down to the alloy, smoothed and the powder coated and shoved in a kiln to 'bake'.

Check out Lab Tab, had my wheels done there on my old gti6 and the looked fantastic. Came out about £50 a corner.

Silver IMO , I have seen them in a gun metal colour & that looked nice

black is chavy.

Gun metal or bronze so there is still a bit of shine on there.

Black on Black looks very moody, I like it. BUT... it makes your wheels look smaller, so be aware of that.

im not keen on black wheels at all, def. silver!

I have to be honest, I am not sure about black wheels on a black car - they just do not stand out, but instead having the black wheels they hide and blend in with the car.

Silver is my vote.

No problems with painting alloys, they arent powder coated from the factory.
