Hi all - can anyone help me to identify the colour code for my wheel colour?
I need to get some as I have noticed some minor chips but no where near enough to warrant a refurb. In fact they are less than a couple of cms in total but want to keep the wheels as good as possible.
Any info much appreciated.
Cheers
steve

Hi - I think it's the camera angle etc as in the flesh they don't look like that - more square lol!.
Graham - they could be anthracite as they appear to much darker than the ones on your profile and the rim is the same colour.

I had anthracite on my old Fiat Coupe and it doesn't look a million miles away.

Pic may help...

Thanks Si - it does look very close.
I always wanted one of the Fiat Coupes - particularly the Turbo variant - bloody fast car. Unfortunately I never had the readies when one came up!

Are they shadow Chrome?


As for the wheel size i run 225/35's on my spiders on the front and they are fine. If you go any wider you get tram lining. I think they look fine but i would pick function over fashion any day smile

Spiders are 8j wide

Hi Scott - well they look to be spot on!! My tyres are Toyos and 225/35's. I had Toyos on my 996 and they were great too. By the way my friends will vouch for the fact that the "fashion gene" really passed well above my head!
Do you order by the colours name or by code?
Cheers

clap All now sorted - called Chips Away (David Hemmings). He arrived on time and did a really first class job - well pleased to be honest. Got the perfect colour match (anthracite) and even fixed other marks that I had not noticed. I got slightly cheaper quotes from a couple of other guys but one did not bother calling back and the other could not get the colour!! David is also a PH and we talked cars for ages - well you do don't ya.
Good job nice guy.
Cheers
Steve
