Antrachite wheels on a blue car Yes/No

[Reidy10_0]

I have had a lot of trouble with my Subaru alloy wheels.
The dealer has offered to replace or powder coat.
I am on my 4th set of wheels so i am not wanting a new set.
I could get them powder coated with Anthracite for a change, the car is a 2006 WRX wagon in blue.
What do you think?

Cheers

I dont suppose anyone has a proper picture of a WRX with Antrachite wheels?

Blue WRX Wagon, Anthracite Wheels and a lip spoiler. Looks fantastic.

It better, it's your lot that are doing it.
Now on to my 4th set of wheels, i am still not sure what to do.
Lorna has got me in another new set of wheels in or if i want I can get them powder coated.
What would you do Adam?

[adamfraser]

I'll send you a PM.

That does look good mate.
I have noticed there are a few different shades of Antrachite, the colour you have looks spot on for what i am after (not to dark).

Looks good.

Tried to do a quick Photoshop of a GB270 wagon. Only problem is that those wheels are black, not Antracite. Gives you an idea though.

Wooooooooooooo . . . that R34 (??) is gorgeous!



Sort of wish I'd had trouble with my 2005 Impreza wheels . . . still absolutely unblemished so I can't justify the expense of powder coating the really really boring metallic beige (on Crystal Grey car)! Pity I'm not a Member of Parliament or I'm sure I could have claimed for a respray!

Not the right blue, but it gives you an idea, poor picture too. Just had them re-sprayed in mercury grey.


100% go for it!!

Not a great picture but you get the idea, i am pretty happy with my wheels but there is still the doubt, did i do the right thing?
