The car has the anthracite coloured wheels at the moment, but I'm thinking to putting them back to standard, what do you guys prefer ?

Exactly same as my Eddie mate (5 door reflex silver) :happy2: I went anthracite a few months back and straight away preferred the original colour, however after a few weeks they grew on me and now love them!
I don't think the original colour did them justice and if I was to go back to silver would go for a brighter high polished silver.
-
I just seems every other car out there has dark wheels now, silver is the new black !
I'll see how it looks when I get the H&R springs fitted.

I went from black

There are too many cars with dark wheels now. It's like white cars, they look nice but a few years ago they were quite rare, now they're everywhere.
I think silver, or a very light anthracite like on 182 Clio wheels.
-
The anthracite look is indeed getting more common these days. That's why I went down the smoked chrome road, to get something a bit more unique. Why not try something a bit different :happy2:
-
I personally wouldn't go black ( not a personal fan) and the top colour suits our car better.
But it's personal perspective.

Wheels back to standard but tint the rear windows

Had to double take then snap, another car twin :signLOL: I'm currently getting some Monza's refurbed for winter and nearly choice a Matt Pearl grey, (alfa 159 colour), but have gone down an original finish, so fingers crossed will have an outcome next friday.
Im unsure on what colour to go with on the Pescara, other than a very light smoked chrome, possible Hyper silver. Its all each to there own, i was just wanting to add abit of defination to the silver eddie, so may get the front & rear valances wrapped :confused:

How much did it cost to tint the rears if you don't mind me asking?

£120 for the rear 3 windows got it done in Leeds , cappuncino tints took them 45 mins to do (nice job as well)

Other option for the rear windows is for the Privacy shades, then it easy to return to stock, you can now get the rear window shade in a one piece so there is no joint down the middle. :happy2:

Mine are subaru grey with reflex silver mixed in :happy2:

they did my old A3. another positive recommendation for them.
in regards to the wheels i prefer anthracite on a Silver car, but not quite as dark as in the OP. prefer like a smoked chrome
