Default Help!!! MO's on WHITE saff colour....

Just got a set of MO's for my saff, now they could do with a re-paint but i'm unsure what colour to go for. They're white at the moment but the shade doesn't match the car properly so it's putting me off.

Could you show me pics or give opinions for the best colour to have on a WHITE saff, i'm leaning towards ..

1st: Anthracite
2nd: White to match car
3rd: silver ( don't think silver would look good on a white car?)

thanks peeps

These are the exact wheels mate, they are doing the rounds now. Just remember that they are only 7" wide and you will need 3mm spacers on the fronts (as they catch the calipers) and 5mm on the back fill the arch more.

Here they are in 8" wide GRP A fitment.


I have a pic of them in Anthractive & they look alot better in that colour TBH...i'll dif the pic out & load it up.

Martin, IMO white wheels on a white car, 9 time out of 10 make the car's bodywork look pale.

And from where I'm sitting, I'm sorry to say it but you can see this on Alex D's car also


Silver wheels are common so Arthractite (or however you speel the fooker )

I do agree mate, When they need a refurb, I am going to have them painted diamond white, so they match the car..

when you have a stunning 3 door like that, almost anything will suit, including gold

no no that looks good,

i photoshopped these for Ian3dr ages ago when he was choosing his new colour for his MO's

think it's a bit too bufty for me and you'd need such a mint car to pull it off

AAAAaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!! i can't decide

The pics of Paul's with white look
Even the gold looks good on the 3dr
The anthracite looks a bit dark and i don't wanna "lose" the wheel

i think i may go for somewhere between silver and anthracite????

Think I'll have a gold set on mine, everyone seems to be goin for black/anthracite, and IMO they could be steels from a distance or when their moving

Plus the fact I'm one of mike RB's secret lovers and we'd look like brothers at the Norfolk meets
