You need to get your 312s under those wheels, the FR ones look teeny. Colour really suits the car though. Does no one else think the FR wheels look a bit weird painted because of the centre caps?

Yes i do i have a facelift fr in white with black alloys, but the centre caps are still the grey colour mentioned this to the dealer when i got it and all he could say was i can give you the number of somewhere that might paint them for you, i thought cheers 11k on a car and thats all you say. Considering when you pick the black alloys the put black mirror covers on it you would have thought they might colour code the centre caps too

Just spent ages cleaning and waxing them today not had the chance since I got them done. I agree about the 312 brakes but I stupidly bought them from Ad Lav off here with no callipers so need to source them first and I have to pay someone to do it for me and kinda just spent alot getting these wheels done so have to wait. Got black mirror covers coming tomorrow thou.

Either you have a prototype brake setup, or you forgot to rotate that photo!

Anthracite I say. :) I'm going to get mine done that colour when the time comes for a refurb. Not least because it'll disguise the dirt a bit more. :lol:
