Afternoon guys and gals,

We have just taken delivery of our new 2 Eleven and we have strong divide of opinion on wheel colour choice, I personally think that it would look superb with black whereas others are saying that the polished look is the way to go?!!?

What say you......

Thanks Graham, took the three of us a good few hours to decide on the both the colour scheme and the layout of the stripes. We are all dead chuffed with the results though. biggrin

We are now in the process of speccing up our N/A 2-11, and so it begins.................again........... hehe

Best 2-11 I've seen, except maybe Jo's on SELOC... It's a close call, that does look great..

zno idea on wheel colour though, I'm in the same quandry over my S1 Azure blue car..

Definitely definitely black, however it's whether matt or gloss black; the black patch of gloss bodywork and the gloss wheel would look good together I think, where a matt wheel would stick out a bit too much against the gloss black paint.

Agree with Tony. Its Gloss Black, on this one, but it is very dependent on colour scheme

White? Can't photoshop to save my life though I'm afraid but I reckon it'd look good.

Are those wheels lighter than the standard ones?!

Same weight but ever so slightly narrower.

If you dont mind me asking what were the thoughts on picking those wheels.

I think the standard ones really set the car off.
cheers

Red would either look amazing or shocking, no middle ground at all.


My vote would be for the black. As has been said the scheme looks brilliant

Have just had a thought, will the narrow wheels not mean that handling is compromised?!
