Anthracite would look aswell.
I like dark wheels on white cars make them look hard as.
Had Anthracite Comps on my old S2

Mine are Anthracite, at moment. Had them on my old white saph and always thought they looked really good. Thinking of Diamond white this time to match the car and give it the rally/motorsport look.

hmmm...Decisions decisions!
