I have a choice to make.
Time is tight in getting my car finished at Surface and Design.
New wheels are required to be ordered soon from Tim at Act. Problem is the SP12s in silver are on order. He has them in anthacite. What do you think? A meaner look. Maybe matching stripes at a later date.

Due to the time constraints and Tim not having the Silvers in yet i have decided on Anthracite.
Just needed a few nods. Be interesting to see how it pans out so keep the votes coming.

Love our anthracite SP12s, you won't regret it. Our car is silver grey but I'm sure they will suit blue just as well.

Anthracite, you could also polish the lip while you are doing it. That's what I'll be doing to mine in the summer.

The wheels are coming brand new from Tim at ACT.

WHat do you mean exactly by polishing the lip? Back to the bare ally and laquer?

Sorry, I didn't read OP properly. I thought you were refurbing old wheels.

Main part of wheel, spokes etc. are Anthracite and just the outer edge is polished, like this:

I would go for Shadow Chrome, they light grey chrome you see on Tuscans. Will go nicely with the dark blue.

If you want anthracite just don't wash them and let the brake dust build up

I have glitter silver on my new Team dynamics 5.1 instead of high power silver which i think the SP12`s are
