.
You want them for Go (lightweight) or Show (eye-candy) or both?

How much you wanna spend? There are so many available to choose from according to your needs and desires.

i think i'm in a minority here on this forum but to my eyes only certain colours work with silver cars and that colour depends hugely on the pattern/design of the alloy itself... for instance black monzas on a silver golf = big no no in my book  :laugh:, lacks class and that a 5 year old is choosing your kit  :P

bbs ch do look good and you can probably get away with them in anthracite against the silver bodywork

No, you're not in a minority - I think the same as you, Frenzy. Which probably means that we are both in a minority.

Holty's with Detroits looks amazing IMO.

actually not too bad (at least i'm not stubborn eh?) :grin: but he has gone in for a penny, in for a pound with his colour coding which is what allows it to work.

Polished LM reps would look good on a silver golf with black centre caps
