Wheel Colour Choice
I've bought a set of Hawkeye STi Spec D wheels like the pic below:
The wheels need a refurb and I'm going for a colour change as well, but which colour?
I did think about the following colours: gunmetal (same as current wheels and works well), dark bronze, matt black or gold. Any other colours I should consider apart from white that is.

Anthracite is a good choice but remember that it can vary significantly depending on the colour code, from looking almost silver to nearly black.

I'm leaning towards anthracite (but it might be too close to gunmetal for me) or a 'reddish' bronze in a matt finish.
I'm still open to suggestions though.
ps I was wondering who would notice the PCD difference first, so the prize goes to Geraint.
I've ordered CDF Racing hubcentric wheel spacers/PCD adaptors which should be arriving tomorrow.
