Default What colour wheels....

Just bought a set of 16" Mondeo alloys. Currently rubbing them down and referbing them but what colour should I do them?

A dark grey although car is a dark colour so think it would be to dark

Standard silver, abit boring

Tempted by white as I love white wheels

Or go crazy and do orange as ive seen one this colour with orange wheels and it looked different

No pics of them on im afraid but this would be the colour

silver is best as dark wheels wont suit the car as you need contrast, and plus when it comes time to sell them silver will sell no problem, coloured wheels suit track cars or in your face high performance cars but on a rs2k they would just look chavvy

Pretty much what I'd say too. White may work, but IMO a dark or lairy colour wont.

the mondy wheels come in 7.5 and 7.0 widths (this makes a difference to how they look)

BTW you should know better mondy wheels came in the common 6.5j or the rare 7j as escos were 8j et25 as you know, 7j are now harder to find than the escos ones

Silver. Black alloy wheels never looked good on cars imo.

Yeah know the mondeo wheels have no tyres on atm just posted the pic so people can see the colour of the car and give their opinion.

Not sure if mine are 7.0 or 75
