Darker VXR8 wheel finishes - "flash chrome"?

[mik_ok]

Thinking about getting mine refurb end in a slightly darker shade. A bit lighter than the image below I think.

I'm sure I saw pics from someone on here that got one of the fancier "flash chrome" (or maybe dark/smoked chrome?) any images?

Personally I think graphite is the best colour on VXR8S (silver, red, white and blue) apart from black ones. Just looks all wrong in the pic above.

On Black vxr8 Should be shadow chrome, silver or gloss black but not graphite or grey

Not a shadow chrome finish I know, but a light graphite/anthracite really suits the wheels:

I like that. It's what I was thinking of with mine, or at least hoping for! Are they decals or new calipers??

Do I need to pm you to avoid rules?.

Thanks all. "Light gunmetal" is what I think I am erring towards. Black wheels don't usually work for me.

The "chrome" finishes look cool on the websites, but I am not sure if they.'d look too "fussy" in the flesh ???

You are fine, the rules only apply when money changes hands. Willie is a top guy to make such a kind gesture

Think mine are audi titanium grey or something like that. Happy with them but now want a change to black. Planning on plastidippin them so that I can peel it off when I get bored and revert back to grey.
