Default wheel colour suggestions

keep looking at my car in the garage and getting disheartened, thinking my wheels just dont suit it now they on the car. did them grey with polished lip, and they look great off the car, just not so much on it. mallard green body colour was decided after i did the wheels, was originally gonna go white or red, which would have suited the wheels more i think

heres the car on the rims:





think its lacking a bit of contrast, plus the polished lip is now the preferred choice of almost every halfords wheel, so also im starting to think it just looks tat

anybody fancy putting forward their suggestions? im toying with white and repainting the rollcage to match, or going satin black maybe. then theres possibilities with rim tape pin striping also. im just completely unsure. help! lol

i agree with twins they look sweet mate and the colour goes well if you changed anything i would go satin black with red lip and do your cage red


white would look good too on mallard green my mate has a mk5 rs2000 in mallard green with white escos wheels and it looks cool

think it looks great, like the bonnet vent to!

but, tbh the best bit is the bow on the seat belt, this just finishes it off lovely

hahaha that bow is actual a very technical method of securing the door shut using the rollcage, as im currnelty too lazy to fit the latches, as they arent shiny yet

and phil, shut it, once i have an idea in my head, i dnt care, i just want it done, so even if the car gets no closer to bein finished, at least i can stop being a mental and be happy with the colour scheme
