T28 RST,

There is another grey that IMO looks very good, it is a meduim grey that the Range Rover "Vouge" model wheels were done in...............Deffo NOT as dark as Anthracite that most peeps choose.....

Mine were done by Spit & Polish (in Essex), they have lots of this colour in stock (powder coat)....



Also, the colour just happens to be the same grey as brake pad dust...so you dont have to clean the wheels all that often as the dust does not show up

BLACK looks the best out of the two above

only trouble with black wheels is it makes your tyres look brown.

i would go for gloss black not satin or matt if you get them done black.

Black does look good, hence why so many people have gone down that route. I'd go for the darker grey though and be a bit different

White?? On a Red Car? Next you'll be wanting your Ford badges painting White too. Shortly after that, you will be buying Burberry and pretending that you are better than everyone else. Remind you of anyone??!!

Car looks the bollox with those wheels. I'd defo go for Anthracite.
