Hi , I want to change the colour of my wheels from silver to another colour , I know people say Black , But i had them on my white leon and
They showed brake dust very badly. What colour would you have them powder coated ?

Many Thanks

Which wheels do you have on your car? Some styles of alloys suit certain colours better than others - IMHO, alloys with wide, thick spokes don’t look that great in dark colours.

Without knowing what alloys you have, I’d say go for a ‘shade of grey’ such as anthracite, smoked chrome or gunmetal. Those colours all work well with a red car, and they hide brake dust well. If you’re feeling brave, you could go for bronze.

Just forget changing the colour if they're the standard FR 18" wheels, get some new ones.

CMWheels do good replicas and the pretoria set looks really good on a leon, but stick with 18" if you do change. Gun metal looks really nice and its actually on my shopping list for next year

I would rather have a gen set in anthracite than a replica set designed for a golf.

Just my opinion

Dont go replicas, they are generally either too sof or hard and prone to cracking bending and have bad powder coating or painting that will only last a year.
