I expect you'll here the words shadow chrome mentioned a few times. Best bet IMO.

Is this a common problem? Happened to me a couple of times.

Think the smoke Chrome might be a winner, the body is silver, but only want a bit of contrast.
Anyone with piccys of standard alloys in smoked chrome, rather than spiders?

[jamieduff1981]

Do you mean the 1996- 16" 6-spoke or the RL7s?

You need something with a nice shiny fleck in there even though my wife thinks they are a bit on the ghey side!

I agree with the above but you have some good options.

My Cerb was Stardust Silver which can look quite dull, so in my opinion the alloys were an opportunity to go with some light or reflective. I ended up going for "sparkle" silver which was a bright silver with metallic flecks in, they looked great. Unfortunately I don't have any close up pics, the one's below are ok...

I went with the Anthracite vote:

[Jonny TVR]

what about flat gloss black?

[matty1275]

thanks gents, they are the standard 16inch rims.

still thinking, but looks like the 3 mian choices are silver, smoked chrome or anthracite.

i think either bright silver or smokes chrome will stand out well against the silver body, but anthracite might be a bit dark

[Jhonno]

What colour is the Cerb?!

[matty1275]

not sure of the shade, but silver
