Are they gunmetal? I'm the opposite of you. Black car, wanting to go shinier.
I was looking at refurbishing, but the prices seem to be quite expensive, and almost worth keeping the standards as they are for spares/selling on, and getting a new set of wheels for £6-800 (I think halfords are still doing oz 17" for about that price)


I think you'd be OK sticking with 17s. lets face it, 18 is only an inch bigger. And the real difference is in filling the arches, which you can do by lowering the car with new springs. I think that would be a good combination.

Yes .. Standard Anthracite ones that came with the car .. Would prefer something darker .. looks quite mean ( and hides the plenty of brakedust )
