Default Wheels for Sapphire - opinions

I have two Sapphires, a 2.9 BOA rwd Cosworth in moondust silver that's a daily driver and a 4x4 YB Cosworth in smokestone blue. I also have a set of 17" Hockenheims which are powdercoated in anthracite. I used to have them on the YB, as the 15" lattice wheels are a nicer drive on the daily driver. Which car should I put them on? As they also look nice on the silver one...

Just to be difficult, I think I prefer them on silver! Close call though! Think its all a bit dark on the dark car, but would look better with a black hub nut...

Don't really know what you mean by o/s quarter (kind of a language issue I guess)... But I guess it is what it looks like.

That is indeed an LPG filler cap.

They look great on both cars tbh, but if I had to choose, I'd go with the silver!

I reckon some nice white 18" MO';s would look good on the smokestone car.
