Default Wheel colour change

I really like the standard wheels on my car, I just don't like gold very much. This is what they did look like......


This is what it looks like now...

Sorry but it looks Pants!
Black wheels look like a 5yr drawn them on and just coloured the whole wheel and tyre in, why have some pukka alloys then paint them so no one can see them?

The gold wheels definately stood out more, but I just didn't like them.

If I hadn't have seen his wheels mine would still be gold

As I said when I posted this up - I just don't like the gold colour very much. When I had black wheels on my last car some one even said they looked like the wheel trims were missing .

I could always get my kids to paint them gold again though I suppose

Not really a fan of black wheels, I think I preferred the gold.

A nice silver/grey like the Bright flitter PFF7's colour looks good with white IMO.

Like this (older shape car I know, but you get the idea)



Hope Phil doesn't mind me using a pic of his car

Still a lovely car you have there though mate

I had them done anthracite, but in the photos they do look black - not that there's that greater difference between black and anthracite.

To those who don't -
