I've got her in for a respray... And will thereafter be going with a full refurb on all 4 alloys. I've seen all kinds of colours, tints and finishes out there, so wondered if throwing this one to the floor for opinions might help me pick a way forward...

What colour for the alloys?

Below you can see her mid-respray (for interest as much as anything) with spiders attached, and one of her (not the best but enough to see the colour - staying with same) beforehand.

Welcome any thoughts on the million different silvers, or an anthracite perhaps? Aye aye aye... Great dilemmas to have mind you...

green and gold always looks good,

sort of depends on what style you want to achieve. black always looks racier, silver looks stock,

Shadow chrome would probably look good, gold is a good call but would want a good photoshop done to see it beforehand

I really like that style on a Cerb. Not sure about the colour, I'm more of a silver lover myself.

Hard choice there OP. scratchchin

If the interior trim is tan/ beige/ cream or oatmeal, then I would say go for gold.
It's a great companion to green coachwork, exudes class.

If the trim is green or grey, then Shadow Chrome.

If only I had your problems......
I have very good taste, only wish I could afford to indulge it. wink
