If the only issue you have, is keeping them clean, then take them off and seal them properly.
Lots of info in the detailing section

Smoked chrome is the best colour option for wheels imho.

Silver for me though smoked wheels may be a good middle ground?

I have been thinking the same thing myself, wouldn't mind some anthracite ones, shame I've just spent 3 weeks refurbing my wheels back to silver.

I dont like black wheels. You can never see any of the detail.

I think the OEM pescara colour is nice as its a bit darker than bright silver. Or go anthracite like these...

The first pic looks excellent where as that pic of the 5 door with silver wheels looks terrible in my opinion, just too much silver.

 :sad1: :confused:
Don't hold back mate  :sad1:

Lol sorry about that. I've just got so used to black wheels on my own car it's strange seeing silver.

I'll probably get fed up of them after a while and want to go back to silver.

Me too, I'm not a fan of black wheels. Looks like you've had 4 punctures! I do like a blacked centre on split rims with a polished silver rim though.
