Best wheels for silver cars [submit pics]

Yes very cool Rich.

Talking a couple of grand's mods to get mine looking similar mind you. Wheels, springs, sills, splitter...

I've gotten tons of compliments on my current setup, especially when seen in person.

I have always preferred the look of the original Vantage sills, but I really like those CF-sills.

Thanks, guys.
Here's what it looked like before I got silly with it...





And here's what it looked like on the original 7-spoke wheels, with spacers H&R springs, and the........ original antenna.

It does look stunning Rich but personally the details of black wheels just get lost

I can see why people compliment you on it

I completely understand, and it was something I was really worried about, too. I've always been anti-black wheels for exactly that same reason - they hide detail. But I"m super happy with the result, and really love the way they turned out

heres mine

V12V wheels & spacers

One option is to go for hyper/shadow chrome finish on wheels. Provides a glossy dark chrome finish on the outside edges so they show up better than black wheels but then shades into a black finish on the inner edges/barrels so that brake dust etc doesn't show as well.
Link below to a BMW wheel in the finish to give an idea.

Lovely Graeme, and very nice J12KJR.

Love the V12S Forged wheels with a little bit of lowering from some Velocity AP springs for DAE

Here's mine with 20" Satin Black alloys. Manufactured by Projex, model name: Circuit.

@rancidswan spacers required or did they build to correct size?

[rancidswan]

They are an exact fit, no spacers required and they fill the arches extremely well.

For tyres, I run Pirelli PZero AMS

Front: 245/35/20 95y
Rear: 275/30/20 97y

Does your small antenna give you good reception and, if so, where did you get it?
Enjoy your posts by the way

I got a very similar one on my Vantage from Lohen here. Reception is same as before. I re-sprayed it matt black though as the finish was a bit too glossy for my liking.

It's something I sell through my Redpants website. I almost never use my FM radio, so reception is a non-issue. But I've been told by several customers that had this concern that they don't any any problems with it.

That looks awesome!

I haven't sprayed mine (it's gloss black) but I've thought about it. Honestly, I never even think about it anymore unless someone asks about it specifically. It's so small that I don't notice it - out of sight, out of mind!

The ride is soo much better than stock and the stance is indeed great.

I replaced my arial recently, as the original was coming apart at the base.

The replacement was from a popular auction site and was £2.68 delivered.

Before


After


Good idea to respray it, might do that this weekend...
