I have what some people call a GTS blue Tuscan.

I'm repainting the rims and was wondering what color would best fit, should I keep it "grey" or try something different ? I doubt dark black would be nice, if you guys have pictures of different color combo, haven't seen anthracite or matte grey.

The color inside is tan and blue (for info)

Have a look at the wheel swap thread in the main TVR forum. There are a couple of pics of blue sags with darker grey/black wheels.

I've got dark grey Spiders on my Cobalt Blue Tusc but it's 150 miles away so can't put up a pic.

dont mind the gloss black , though i was looking at having them painted white for a while and the odd wheel in the pic is off a standard silver alloy

Goes very well with the blue I reckon...

Saw one with the mirrors, logo's and the chrome end tips of the exhaust also in black and it looked very sweeeet!

I've got black gloss spiders which came with my black Tuscan. They weren't to my taste originally and one of the first things I did was buy a new set of silver spiders.

But as time has gone by, the black wheels have grown on me and the silver ones remain in their boxes.
I now think black can work but it can give a very hardcore look to a car and draw the eye from the beauty of the lines of the Tuscan on some colours.

It's all down to the image of the car in your mind I suppose.

Silver looks perfect IMHO.
