I did the same recently; I switched from silver to anthracite wheels on my Spectraflair Silver mkl. The only photo I have is this one, with Le Mans stripes still in place!

Hi - I have a mk1 Tuscan and recently changed my alloys to a lighter anthracite, not sure what silver yours is, but mine has a hint of blue in the silver. It's a personal thing but I think the anthracite works against silver.

Could I be cheeky and ask approx how much, and did the wheels need any repair, kerbing etc?

Hi Dave

Off the top of my head it was around 450 quid for all four wheels, and yep any marks etc were removed, total refurb!! They honestly look even better in the flesh.
Mine is reflex charcoal and I found the Anthracite a little grim. Each to their own, but for me these really stand out and do not look 'blingy' . If you go to 'Gleamingkleen' web site you can see a Spectraflare T350 that had it's wheels changed over to the dark/shadow chrome , mines there too with the original anthracite wheels.

Cheers

Take a look at the audi grey on the black edition models, spot on colour, in both matt and gloss finish.

Very very popular colour at the moment.
