Wheel colour suggestions for Red Ibiza?

[ben-ducky]

Due to the fact that my two front wheels are slightly kerbed and it is really annoying me and that matching the original colour of the standard alloys is almost impossible so it seems I have decided that I might perhaps paint them a different colour altogether.
Im not really a big fan of black wheels so I was wondering if any of you guys had pictures of what youve done to your wheels?
Im fancying a sort of gunmetal/anthracite colour at the mo.
Any pictures or suggestions would be very much appreciated.

The usual suggestions will be: white, gloss black, matte black and finally... anthracite! Maybe get a custom colour made up? Gloss black with red glitter or something?

My opinion would be gloss black... but then I like that sort of thing (opposite to your opinion I guess...)

Funnily enough it crossed my mind about the red glitter idea too.
I am not dead against black just not really keen on the 17" Luna Alloys in black from what ive seen so far.

Just looks a bit different. I do like things simple though so I will be doing mine matte black in the future!

My wheels need done too and I'm thinking of anthracite. Can't seem to find any examples of it with a red car on here though!

I've been looking through some old threads and came across this:

I personally love the finish on Damoegan's Cupra. Think that has made my mind up on anthracite

Good find. I like that. Just hope it doesn't cost too much more to get them done that way. At the time of the year when my insurance and my tax are due with about the same time!

Colour code the mirrors to match the wheels? Or would that lose it's FR-ness? Was speaking to someone like that a while back, who was thinking about that, but wasn't sure.

Black will look sweet

I personally would keep the silver mirrors. It really shows the FR-ness of the car off and especially on a red Ibiza in my opinion.
But everyone has their own taste

 

[IainW]

Yeah I think you're probably right. That's mine booked in for next Tuesday, going to see the choice of colours before I decide.

 

[IainW]

That's mine done. Anthracite with a sparkle. Really like it. Can't get any photos at the mo as it's peeing it down as usual.

+1 on black will look schweeet

Just finished doing my wheels in Volvo Dark Grey (think it's 218 in the U-Pol range). Basically it's anthracite. Here they are;



The tyres need a clean but you get the idea. They don't look quite as dark as they do in the pic.

they look awesome lippo, i love black/dark wheels, they really stand out

 

[ben-ducky]

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. When I finally decide what I am doing I'll get some pictures up .

How about a gold-ish anthracite?
