Alloy wheel colour

[STW2010]

Good afternoon.

My car (e46 coupe, black) is being treated to some alloy refurbishment, and I have the option of going for a different colour.

This is what I currently have-



I was thinking of going slightly darker (currently BMW silver, apparently).

Any thoughts? If anyone has any examples, then that would also be great!

Yeah go darker to an anthracite colour.

I have these and like them:

I bought an E46 Coupe in Black and it has Anthracite wheels on it.

I can send you a piccy if you PM me.

Looks good but it is a little bit chav-tastic! Nice to be different though...

Interesting that you both mention anthracite, as this was the first colour that the alloy place showed me. I like the idea of going darker, but was cautious of going too dark- they are going to paint one wheel in a grey colour (actually a Lambo colour...) to see if I like it.

They are really helpful, and come in at a fantastic price. This was all prompted after I hit a kerb to avoid an idiot driver who cut a corner in the country lanes and did this to one of the wheels-



I was going to get the wheels refurbished in the summer anyway, so this had just forced my hand a bit.
