Default Wheel Colour... Opinions Please

I want to get another set of MO's, 16" for track and sprint use as the 17's rub when cornering hard. Only thing is, what colour do I go for?

Thinking;

White
Black
Gold

These wheels will sometimes be used on the road too, so they will be kept clean lol. Or if you have any other idea, feel free to share.

Thanks

Hmmmmmmm, of course, the problem with changing the wheel colour is, if I were to go to the Pod, I would have to change all 4 wheels

Doubt 15's will go over the front brakes mate

I wasn't going to fit slicks, just road slicks, like Toyo R888, then I have spare set for the road, also if I am a track day and it starts to rain and all I have is slicks, I will be screwwed.

Right.

I think you should get a matching raincoat too, cos if it does rain, and you need to change back to road tyres, at least you'll match the car whilst working on it

But that is my point, I can't use my 17's, with road tyres on, for track, why you no listen? < Oh no, I have done a "Rainbird"


I know road slicks can't be used in the rain, but I should stand more of a chance than full slicks, no?

Freddy Mercury - WOW Thanks for the photoshops dude You know what, I actually like the red wheels I won't do it though, I think if the car was a hardcore track car and not a concours standard road car then I might do, but not for now.

However, the black MO's look very good on Mr C's car, VERY good, they look brown on my car, I guess that is the angle???




I don't know what to do, White or Black.......
