Ok folks opinion time the wheels on my S1 Exige are starting to get horrible, brake dust is welded on, edges are scratched and as it looks like work will be slow next week I might get them painted
so on a chrome orange exige, standard wheels, should I go for
1 satin black
2 gloss black
3 metalic black with a very fine blue/red sparkle
4 very dark graphite grey similar to the decals
or any other, all sugestions welcome

I like Satin Black - I think gloss black is just OTT. Look at S2 Exiges to see how well the colour goes with chrome Orange.

+1 for satin black _ the only colour for a chrome orange S1 exige.

Be careful when powder coating them I've heard of S1 Exige wheels going brittle after the the heat process

Anthracite or gun metal looks good or satin black.

I would go for a dark satin anthracite - hides the dust to! - come to think of it does anyone know any good wheel refurb/powder coating firms in the cheshire area?
