      It would cost me the difference to drive up north in juice to get them done, so seems an ok price for south of Watford gap

          anthracite only looks good on light coloured cars and black has been done to death and is a bit chavvy these days IMHO.
          White or silver. For those wheels I'd say silver, they aren't aggresive enough for white I don't think

            I didn't think much of anthracite on my black coupe but it could work on yours as it usually looks good on dark green coupes that I've seen. Black wheels with blue paint would be a big gamble, probably not worth it as it's a lot of money to spend on something you don't then like. So silver or anthracite is my vote. Black wheels on black coupe aren't all that bad though :

              Hey,

              Decided to keep her running rather than break it then
              Looks great with that grill too.

                definetly WHITE one.. or stock silver..

                black wheels are totaly ******* on "old cars" (rs2,s2,s4,s6,200,v8 are not "NEW" cars).. that is my opinion ..

                        I'm a bit fussy with wheels, and prefer to keep as close as possible to OEM in terms of both style and colour.

                        I voted for standard silver but 'black chrome' looks good on the right car - it's actually not black and it's not chrome Let me see if I can dig out a pic...

                          Pic would be good, I think that black would show off the calipers nicely too

                              Very nice, look's like more of an anthricite or graphite type colour to me but do like it all the same.

                                Id deffo go for a graphite grey. Gloss black makes the tyres look faded unless they're slicked every couple of days and white are just a nightmare to keep clean and dare i say it think it would make the car look chavvy!
