Dilemma! Wheel colour

[ash_s3]

After nearly a year of ownership ive decided i cant wait any longer to sort out the wheels on my 172 Cup. Taking them to The Wheel Specialist in Birmingham (via Fred@BTM)

Just cant decide on colour!
Do i go for the clean, standard look or have them done anthracite and give the car more of a track look?

Few pics pinched from the forums..

Standard Cups suit bright silver imo

Thats a hard decision, and as much as i love Jamies old cup in the second pic, i think the standard one looks amazing.

I'd go for that.

White if your going to mess around with the rest of it. but if its standard bright silver with lots of flake in it

2nd one with matching bullets.

The 2nd pic the car in the back ground with that chrome grille :dead:

 

[JackJack]

[Rexy]

Bright Pink!

 

[G3 NYX]

White!

 

[ben81]

Silver

 

[LJColeman]

white!!

 

[ash_s3]

Definetly wont be doing white! If it was RB that would be different

I am a huge fan of clean standard looking cups and think thats what im going to go for, but on the other hand i do love Jamie's cup with the anthracite turinis and yellow calipers!

Argh!!!

Silver! Or slightly darker than silver

 

[simb06]

Standard ride height - silver

lowered - black

 

[alanc1000]

Standard silver looks best

I had my Turinis refurbed last summer. I couldn't decide on silver or anthracite. I went with anthracite in the end and have not regreted it. If you do go with anthracite you need to colour code bullets and diamonds imo which is now what I've done.

Orange FTW!!

I loved the yellow ones on schweppy's cup.... Really different, looked great.

I've always been of the thinking that if I'm going to get my wheels refurbed, I'd go a different colour, otherwise I'd feel slightly disappointed with the money it had cost....

 

[montana]

getting mine done soon , black all the way

I see what your saying, which was originally why i was tempted to go for the anthracite, but i think id like to keep the car original looking.

Ye this, about 200 notes down and no real difference, think i'd choose another colour just for the sake of it looking different.

 

[mr.valver]

Am thinking some 15" red OZ Ultraleggra's is the way forward.

Try red Turini's?

 

[ekaJ]

Oooh youre from Shrewsbury!

I'd go with anthra

 

[ash_s3]

No thanks! Im not into wacky coloured wheels.

 

[ScarySquirrel]

The first picture looks awesome on silver wheels, makes me want to get mine refurbed silver now!

 

[Toms_clio]

Purple!!!

 

[Blue Mez]

liquid yellow, with liquid yellow bullets etc.

[daddycool]

Looks like coilovers to me as its a fair drop. Looks spot-on though!
