Gloss black wheels on the red looks awesome!

Thanks for all the pics and advice... still no closer to making a decision  :signLOL:

Black is clearly the colour of choice but I've never been a fan of black wheels... and I'm never getting white wheels gain, must be cleaned every day!!!
Getting them done at Chameleon Metal Coatings (Braehead) and they said they cant do 2 colours on the one wheel  :ashamed:

I plan on putting Pascara's on it at some point so might aswell just get silver for when it comes time to sell... will no doubt change my mind quite a few times on the day and end up with something random  :grin: Gold Monza II's?????

I must admit I hated those green wheels at first but now they've grown on me and certainly look great on track.

Ace pic at Spa!  :congrats:

Loving the green ones but I don't think I could live with them.

Black looks lovely and I'd be tempted but something just doesn't sit well with me if I was to see them every day on my own car. 

Suppose you could call be a bore or a traditionalist but a good well painted sharp silver (of slight tone off) is hard to beat every time.
