Black saff cos... What colour comps
I have a set of 17" comp MO 6's for my shwartz black saff & I'm taking them in for a refurb tomorrow but still can't decide on the colour!
Nothing really on google image so ill see what people think.
My thoughts are, white wheels look
on a shiney black car, gloss black looks stealth & silver as they will also look fresh against black!!
Any pictures of black saffs on comps would be good to see.

Think I'm going to go with white.
Just not sure the 17's will pull it off as well as the 18's would.

I always fancied white on mine, but wasn't sure if it would go with the body colour!?
....Plus, I thought about keeping them clean, don't have time these days to clean the car every week like I used to! :-(

I do like white wheels but for me they have to be quite square or angular shaped wheels or very much a 'motorsport' inspired wheel if you know what I mean..
Not sure the curved shape of the 6 spoke MOs will work in white IMO...
like the idea of the rootbeer colour or even gold..

Anthracite or Gold.....white will be a pain to keep clean
might be an idea to have the wing mirror caps & front grill surround painted the same colour as the wheels if you go for something different, just to try and tie the colour of the wheels in with the car.......anthracite wheels with matching mirrors & grill surround would look quite cool.......
