Alloy refurb colour?
« on: June 18, 2014, 10:27:18 am »
Hi folks.
Looking to get my rims refurbed, so I'm looking some advice on what colour to go for. Stay the same? Black? Matt black? Anthracite? or any other colours you suggest? All help welcomed
Thanks in advance  :smiley:

Are you going with Monzas or BBS?

If it's Monzas I'd have them diamond cut and polished and then have the inside of each spoke painted anthracite for contrast!

what you've got now looks good  :happy2:

Failing that, straight up silver always looks classy in my book or in a similar vain to anthracite is smoked chrome but i think for the BBSs then stick with what you have or silver.

Actually having said that, black might work too  :grin: Though i don't like black monzas on a silver car, they just don't look right imo  :chicken:

Cheers for all the feedback guys. Still not 100% certain on a colour yet. Think its between anthracite or staying with the same!  :confused:
