Opinions please :) - DaveEdin - 12-02-2019
Well, as most of you will know I have a set of 18" Aero wheels taking up space in the garage. They're not on the car as they need a refurb and a couple of flat spots sorted out.
I was chatting about this with Ormi yesterday and he suggested since they're getting refurbed I should maybe go darker than the standard silver for the wheels.
I figured it was worth nosing at, so I fired up the old GIMP photo editor (just as good as photoshop and it's free, people!) and fiddled a bit with a pic I nicked off a car sales site.
I figured these were the 3 colours I might consider, but other suggestions are welcome and I'll even stick up a pic of any decent suggestions for consideration - neon pink and purple will be ignored though, Sam.
Standard

So.... the floor is open. What are your thoughts? Or do you have a totally different suggestion?

What about gun metal colour?
Opinions please :) - DaveEdin - 12-02-2019
I always thought Anthracite was gunmetal colour to be honest...?
And like you guys, I'm unsure about the black most of all... Might look better on a black IS but mine is blue... :biggrin:

Silver i would say, the 2nd one looks a tad too dark :/. But defiantly not black
Opinions please :) - DaveEdin - 12-02-2019
Well, after a whole 2 minutes of googling, I can honestly say that anthracite wheels look the same colour to me as gunmetal wheels. And since I just guessed the colour up in the pic as something "kinda close enough" to what I thought anthracite was it'll do
I could simply lighten it up a touch of course Jambo So far nobody likes the black!

Looks like everyone thinks the silver looks best?
Opinions please :) - Phil01 - 12-02-2019
Sorry Dave, I just like the original rims and the only colour is silver
Opinions please :) - DaveEdin - 12-02-2019
I think the silver is probably what I'm going to go for Phil, but I figured I'd open up the question and see what people thought...
