As above I am getting my alloys redone on my car and don't know what colour to get them, don't really fancy black as every one has it. Quite like the gun metal of Audi alloys but don't know.

I know you have your reservations about black but I find it goes really well with candy white cars like the one you have. Failing that, a gunmetal or anthracite always looks great. :)

Good luck.

I agree it does look really good just want my car to be different, that's the colour I was talking about "anthracite" but I don't know if it will go with my car.

Was also thinking like a shiny silver

I am a big fan of gunmetal wheels, and I particularly like SEAT Platinum (S7U) or VW Tin Grey (LA7Y), although I have had those shades on black rather than white cars. One suggestion though, you may want to do your wheels the same colour as your mirrors (or vice-versa), otherwise may look a bit odd.

Yes I agree have to match but I'm doing the badges and wing mirrors gunmetal I think any way

Shadow chrome is a nice colour, it's a black base coat, with a topcoat of silver, it's a lot darker than the normal silver alloys you have

Go on thewheelspecialst website & have a look at the finishes.

Anthracite is also nice!
