Default wheel colour on a silver car?????????

been thinking of going for a set of darker wheels on my car, i think they look good in silver but keep thinking the car needs a bit more difference in the colour to break it up a bit, i like the anthricite colour of the compomotive wheels, its not too dark but different from silver, don't think white would suit silver though.

Antracite does look nice against the silver, so does black even..

I know it's not a cossie but looks hard as...

my friend has the new GT3 in silver with orange wheels & mirrors, that looks awesome, don't think it would look as good on a mk5 escort mind

satin black looks ok but people would think i had done them with a can!!


gloss black looks great, the evo looks tough, i think i prefer the anthricte as its a bit lighter, lets a bit more light on thebrakes etc......


i was going to get another set of MO's but i also really like the TH2's

Don't take the spoiler off imo it's what makes the escos iconic. Think of it like Radders. We all know he's a sexual deviant bender no matter what he wears so he may as well be traditional. We all know that's an escos, so why fight it?

Here you go:

I honestly think the blue ones would look pretty awesome on that car and would be different!

I remember having this conversation with Rads once, he was trying to say about painting each wheel a different colour, trust him to take it a bit far

Shame though because if you DID do them blue it would probably be only me that thought they looked good

Same thing when I got my breast implants! No-one else likes them.
