Wheel colour suggestions needed
Discussion
Hi All,
I have a Vantage in Cobalt blue with 10 spoke (sports pack design) alloys which are silver with the light grey inserts. I'm looking at getting them refurbished & would like a to change the colour scheme, first of all I considered black but I'm not sure this will go with Cobalt, now thinking either a darker grey without the silver or silver with black inserts, any suggestions or photos would be greatly appreciated.

Obviously we all have our own opinions.
Some will say your silver look beautiful, classy and a good contrast to blue.
Others will say paint it black.
You will be no further forward, so probably best for you to look around at cars and photos, then do what you really like the best.
Sorry, I am no help to you. Your car looks great in blue though.
LordBrettSinclair has a Mako Blue V8R with your wheel style. Originally silver but he changed where you have grey to black and it looks really good. Sure he will post a picture when he is back from his weekend away but in the meantime a picture for you to play with when he had his Le Mans wrap on it.
- any detail is lost against the black wheel arch and black tyre.
Entirely subjective, so it really depends on what style you're going for.
I'd say look at Google Image results but don't focus on the cars, but rather the overall look a style of them. A blue car gives you completely free reign, but ultimately it depends on what you want. You can pair blue with just about any 'standard' wheel finish. Blue with gold, or bronze, or silver, or gunmetal... plenty of options. Best thing to do is figure out what your eye keeps getting drawn back to.

I'm quite taken with the silver & black inserts
This would be my choice. You have the bright finish grille, bonnet vents and side strakes in chrome so black and silver/diamond cut will work well. Ultimately it's your choice though, so the important thing is to pick what you like. Cobalt really suits the Vantage btw

You’ve changed Jeffrey... Slippery slope, you’ll have black wheels soon enough.
personally I think it's the silver which is important, to tie in with the grille, meshes, chrome window surrounds, etc
I know there is a bit of black on the car, but it's mostly not that noticeable IMO (in comparison) so whilst two tone silver/black would work, I'd go all silver in your instance
Having said that, I'm not a huge fan of two tone wheels !
