Not keen on the rims in black if I'm honest Paul.

I think they'd look a lot better in silver or anthracite!

It's not up to me at the end of the day though!!

I think I'd be tempted to go for silver tbh mate.

It looked nice on the TH2's in silver and I think anthracite may look a bit too much like mercury grey and blend in too much if you smell what I'm cooking.
