Pic Request - Painted Pescara's / Different Wheels on Steel Grey GTI's

[SteveP]

I am after your help people please.

I need to get my Pescara's refurbed after my meeting with some plaster boards on the M40 recently 

My idea is for anthracite finish similar to the BBS brilliant anthracite 

But before I take the plunge want to get any pic's you guys have or have seen elsewhere of either: -

• Painted Pescara wheels
• Any pic's of Steel Grey GTI's with different colour wheels

Thanks in advance

There are a few on here, but unfortunately not pescara's as such. BBS CH.

^^^ Thanks John 



This is my current thinking   

[candy turbo]

here s mine , might be a bit dark for you

[SteveP]

^^^ Thanks Candy, I think your right they might be a little too dark for a steel grey car 

[Greeners]

Im not sure if darker is the way to go as it may look as though you are trying to paint them the same colour as the car?  Plus it would be a good contrast

So Rim King you suggesting the something like Gaz had on his old ED30, the brilliant silver ???

I wonder what white wheels would look like paired with a Steel Grey GTI...

I have a funny feeling that they might look on the OK side of things....!

No, don't think my last post came out right? I think you should go darker 

[Hurdy]

I reckon gunmetal would go well with Steel grey. My last car was steel grey and I bought the ones below to go with them. No proposing you have 5 spokes, just showing the colour for ya

^^^ Umm i need to find some picture or photoshop something up, I am going through the images on the link Hurdy posted but then I cam across my old favorite: -



Damn that Hurdy

^^^^ That's the expensive option  Winter wheels maybe?

I know what winter wheels I want for this coming winter 

So this is purely a quest for a finish to use on the Pescara's for spring/summer

This is my current thinking   

i looked at these but i prefere the polished version now , might be a bit bling though 

[SteveP]

Right I now see Greenouse's point about anthracite wheels looking like they are trying to match the car colour (now a great picture): -



Now even more confused
