Im getting my Cupra R alloys refurbed in a couple of weeks, What colour shall I go for? Im thinking either standard, Gun metal grey or anthracite grey? But cant make my mind up. My Cupra R is Black so if anyone with a black cupra R that has had the above colours done get some pics up please.
 
get them done black and then ill swap you my refurbed silver ones with new pirelli tyres on haha i want black wheels now
 
In my opinion if you are going to go dark then go very dark. A friend of mine has a black car and got his alloys repainted dark grey and they just look dirty all the time.

Either go for silver or black I think.
 
As above, they wont look right tbh. Black, silver or a funky colour.
 
I'm in the same boat I'm going to be refurbing my wheels this week or next all going well and my cars black, was thinking of the grey route myself rover steel grey or maybe the same colour of standard ep3 civic type r wheels
 
I wouldnt go black

There a nightmare to keep clean & you got to keep tyres blacked but most of all in black you loose the detail of the wheels
 
I would of gone for a bright silver if i wasnt changing my alloys, nothing beats bright silver alloys on a black car, except for maybe funky colours like ronin's lol
 
Any colour you like, it's your car :) If you need to ask people what colour they think you should have your modifying cars for the wrong reason.

Saying that ronin225's leon looks to cool!

Black alloys are crap!

Look dusty in 5 minutes and even with tyre black the tyres look brown!

Best colour imo is anthracite! Hardly need washed ever and look good!

Thanks for the replies boys. They are getting refurbed what ever, as they are a state. When I first chose to refurb them I was with out doubt going for anthracite grey! But I cant make my mind up if it looks Dirty or no. Or to just go for the Clean standard silver look. I was hoping id see some Cupra R's With anthracite grey wheels.
 
Anybody got a paint code for anthracite? My cars going to get a few wee marks tidied up this weekend hopefully then it'll be the wheels next week along with calipers! Ill happily try post pics of my cupra r once done if you want to wait a week maybe
 
that's the colour i am going to get mine done, was thinking gun metal but then i seen anthracite, was thinking Dark anthracite but that to dark lol so anthracite it is as i like the metallic look, this is going on a red Fr same type of wheels.

took me ages to decide i had to go to the refurbs people in the end to see the colour .

oh sort your center caps out lol
