Silver or Anthracite wheels?
Discussion
Quick question and I'm looking for general opinion, I'm looking to get my standard 19 inch alloys refurbished over the next few weeks as the existing anthracite finish is looking a little tired and scuffed.
The car is black and they can go back in fresh anthracite, or in bright silver.
I'll be looking to sell the car in the spring so will black with silver have a wider appeal or should I keep the anthracite?

What about hyper black? It's a great color in person.

Thanks guys. Quite a mixed view.
They are currently the original factory finish, so I am tempted to keep the colour but it was just a thought that going bright silver would make the car appeal to a wider demographic than the 'sporty' dark grey. Does the Vantage appeal to a younger group than the 'GT' focussed DB9 for example?
Here is my Vantage and pateA's DB9, both black but one with Silver and mine in Anthracite..

Stick with the OEM look or if your selling privately you could offer to have them done in the new owners choice of colour as a sale sweetner perhaps. Silver would look good though and they would stand out on the car much better like on the 9 next to it.
This dark wheels thing is an " each to their own " choice these days albeit great if you cannot be arsed to clean your wheels.

The Matt black was my favourite and I think it gos well with the edginess of the slightly more aggressive look. By the way are you parked by the bridge in Felton in Northumberland perhaps sampling the cakes in the Running Fox?

Spot-on, the best afternoon tea on the planet 
I had gloss block on my old Tuscan which went well with the bright orange paint, but always felt I had to keep the tyres well-blacked to avoid them looking grey against the wheels, that's why I prefer the sparkly anthracite paint.
