If you get anthracite it'll help me to decide whether to have the silver ones on my cosmos mk1 redone or not. Thanks.

Without a shadow of doubt, out of the two you have mentioned, i would choose Anthracite every time, they look awesome,(check my profile for proof)! Most people have silver, but who wants to be like most people, after all, owning a TVR is all about being different! Having said that, the ultimate alternative, IMHO, would be to have chromed spiders!!! Enquired about having mine done, but was told that its OK to chrome new wheels, but with old one's like mine, it would start to flake off and look shabby. I was gutted. Currently saving for new spiders to chrome up, plus a few other tasty, but subtle mods. I hope i've helped, Martin.

Anthracite wheels always remind me of Allegros etc which have lost their wheel trims. Sorry!

Wheel colour needs to contrast with the body, anthracite works well on mine. Had silver originally which were ok, anthracites much better!

I totally agree - I would normally prefer silver, but when I first saw my Nebula Black Tuscan with Anthracites it looked so good... If I had a Blue car I'd go for Silver though...

Think chrome would look nasty.

Black chrome (M5 style) now thats a different matter

Got to be silver with blue. Anthracite looks wrong to me.

Anthracite always makes a car look slightly dull; as though it needs a clean! Silver everytime!!
