I am interested to get a view on the general opinion about the M400 wheels.

Open to Noble owners and non-owners please comment on whether you prefer the look of the car with the silver (3R) wheels or the black (M400) wheels.

I think it looks far better with the silver ones and have never really liked the dark wheels on Noble, lotus, TVR, Ferrari or any marque actually.

Has to be Silver.

Black looks as if the hub caps have been stolen

Depends on colour of car. If Inigo, Azure Blue or black, Silver wheels (Sure that Joust will agree). I didn't acually like the anthracite wheels on the red car in pictures (didn't like red either), but when you see it in the flesh it actually looks quite good. there again I would say that, as I bought it.

Black... it diferentiates the M400 from the 3R.

My M400 is coming with 'silver' alloys and with all other bits of anthracite replaced with colour-coded items (mirrors, wing tips and supports). IMHO anthracite only looks good on dark grey/anthracite coloured cars (eg Chillidog/Slogan)

The reason I asked is that being a Marketing degree studand and marketing person inthe job and having worked for various marketing and advertising jobs, I wondered if the ads that Noble are doing in Car and Autocar magazines should use a more diverse range of colours and models.

Meaning, I think that if the idea of the ads is to raise awareness of the Noble brand and entice new buyers then it could be an idea to show in the ads the most popular colour with the "best looking" wheels and in a "great photo" view.

Maybe like the promo shots of the 3R in red on the Noble website, only in silver or azure.

Just my opinion of course, but I'm interested to see waht you guys and the factory think.

Do you know, I think that would do it!! As long as you moved the plate to the "legal" position

What a colour.

edited to say. Maybe also with silver wheels too!
