Thats laptab isnt it, if it is, i know the finish will be 2nd to none. What they cost? afraid it looked far better (my opinion) in silver.

yes mate laptab,the finish is un real the pics just dont do them justice,i dropt car off at 8am got it back about 3pm cost Ł260 all in bit expensive but well worth it,the pics of when rim were silver were took when it was real sunny the other day so they look real shiny,these are well shiny in the grey and ithink it breaks the car up abit

I think the pictures of the silver wheels make them look better ie it's a nice day and clear pics..

Take some pics of the new colour in the same light and I'd bet most would say the new finish.

Silver cars need a contrasting wheel and you've made the right descision in my opinion.

I have a set of newly refurbed anthracite rims in my garage and I have black rims on my car which is black but I am thinking of going back to the standards in silver.It maybe the pictures but I would say your silver wheels pictures look bigger and fresher

Silver looked good mate nice and clean, but i've always thought anthracite or dark wheels in general give a more aggressive look, racey.

Looks superb in the silver, also gives the appearance of being bigger in the pics.
