Default alloy colour
Hi,

Is dark graphite grey darker than anthracite. Thinking about changing colour of alloys on a 03 wrx.

Thanks

I,ve just had the alloys on my MY05 JDM refurbished and painted BMW Dark Silver as used in the mini range. It,s more of a grey colour . A lot of people have commented on how good they look.

"Bright Flitter" is a nice colour...not too dark so it makes the tyres look brown and not too light either

"Anthracite" is a bit of a misnomer. It could be pretty well any dark grey! The colour match for mine is a Mazda Thunder grey!

I think white wheels on a blue car would look great. Thinking of doing this myself. Just would be a nightmare to keep clean.

White on WR blue looks the business I reckon.
