My alloys need a refresh. I'm thinking of having them done in anthracite. Is there an official TVR colour for anthracite alloys?

Does anyone have a pic of their car with anthracite alloys (or even shadow chrome), particularly if the car is black? Mine's black and wheels are currently silver. Don't want to go as far as gloss black for the alloys, but I think anthracite would look good.

I’ve just had mine done this week, in shadow chrome , have to do something with the centre caps as these couldn’t be done in the same process as they’d melt

Mine was anthracite, but changed to shadow chrome in March.

Stupid phone, can’t get them the right way round.

Also worth mentioning that the Shadow chrome effect is dependant on how much silver is applied by the painter. Mine just has a tiny amount so it’s only apparent in bright sunlight but you can ask for whatever amount you want. It also makes it hard to match if you kerb a wheel and only have one to do, although my guy said it is possible if he has two wheels so he can use one as a reference.

Thanks Byff. Fixed it for you. Those look darker than I had expected. In my mind anthraite is a dark grey. Maybe I've got that wrong. Shadow chrome was what I looked at for my Tuscan but never took the plunge. I'll pop down to my local wheel guys, whom I've used before, and have a chat with them

This stunning beast was at Wilton House on Sunday, does it belong to anyone here?

I think these wheels would look good on my black Cerb.
