Was thinking anthracite. Seems a popular choice.

Standard diamond cut would be my choice.

Mine too. A good diamond cut looks amazing on a black car. Mine is in a silver powder coat but wish it was a diamond finish.

Slightly darker than standard, which I think is VW 'Titan Silver', which isn't as bright as the usual 'sparkle silver'.

Not a fan of anthracite or black wheels on black cars personally.  Looks a bit too Batmobile.

I switched to a mid/dark grey and it’s ok, but any kerbing really shows, so I’d probably go back to a silver colour next time

What happens with diamond cuts when they get kerbed, is it less visible as it’s just the same colour underneath?
