Default White of Black? Wheel colour choice

I've just had my wheels painted. They were white they are now anthracite. I feel I may have errored. I think I preferred them white Before and after pics are not very fair as I can't get the car right out the workshop yet.

What do you think?






Original white:



Or new anthracite:

I can't decide! Practically, black makes sense as involves less cleaning which I like But I think I preferred the white look

Would offside white nearside black look weird!?! lol

I think its because they are such good wheels.

Both look good, but IMO i would have them white...i think they look better, but if you stick with the anthracite they still look good

You need to choose what you like tho...not what others think...its your car!!
