or any other colours?
Whewn i finally get it back, i am thinking of changing the colour of the wheels. For the grey/blue colour i reckon a dark grey would be ideal - anyone done this on an Odyssey?

I think that would look good. As long as there glossy. Sort of the same colour as the car only a lot darker, but not black. Nice thumbup.
Doubt anyone else will have done it but lets see. bounce

Thanks for the replys but i need to see some dark wheels on an Odyssey - Thing is it's one of those colours that if you get it wrong, it will look like you've just spent all your christmas gift vouchers at Halfrauds, if you know what I mean?
Want to keep a "standard" look to it but make it a little more stealthy...!
Seriously, I quite like the colour of "brake dust grey" but it keeps wearing off when I wash the car!

I have one and so does my Dad (although he never drives it). I would oblige but the hands are not up to photoshop at the moment. Personally, I like the flat silver of standard.

IMHO some of the after market mods I've seen on this forum border on tasteless and chavvy & if it ain't broke don't fix it. All my mods are taking place under the bonnet while the outside is standard. I'm assured the engine will come out next week so soon I hope to have 600+ rwhp

Each to their own but I would spend your money on making it handle/go better, especially as it's rare and soon to be the fastest colour!

I've done the "max power" chav mods in a previous life and won't be going there with the Ro. Just want to see what it would look like - curious more than anything as (personally) i don't think the silver wheels suit the colour 100%
As for engine mods, what would the price of respraying 4 wheels get me in terms of power gains?!
ATM i have ample power for what i need, nice wortec exhaust note, RR Pac, Rippy and a new gearbox soon, so just want to "enjoy it" and if that means i wash it a little more to keep my new wheels clean then that is no bad thing is it?

Not at all, so long as you are happy and I guess we all want to personalise our cars. Not many people would go as far as I have but the thought of having a stupidly powerful road car makes me giggle.

how about this?:

sorry no Ro pics but i have these pics of my old Pug wheels that i resprayed in Lexus Blueish Grey, Lexus had a few more shades like greenish grey & redish grey if you call into a motor factors or bodyshop they should be able to show you a colour chip book

as you can tell from the pics the wheel looked grey 90% of the time but when the sun catched them they would shine blue
