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  :sad: :sad:

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

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  :happy2:

^^^ Thanks Candy, I think your right they might be a little too dark for a steel grey car  :happy2:

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?  :confused: Plus it would be a good contrast  :wink:

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....!

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 :smiley:

I know what winter wheels I want for this coming winter  :wink:

So this is purely a quest for a finish to use on the Pescara's for spring/summer  :happy2:

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  :confused: :confused: :confused:
