Black or white
+1, if you have tinted windows and are going down the gloss black mirrors route black wheels will definitely suit the car.
if not i would personally go for white, love the look of white wheels on red or dark blue cars.

I already have black alloys but there a spray can jobby so there not shiny. would powder coated wheels be shiny ?. I will be window tinting and carbon wrapping the bonnet ( anyone else wrapped just the bonnet ?)

cheers

You can get them shiny from a spray can if you do it properly.. Have a look at my readers ride page and you'll see the wheels I did for a guy on there. I'm gona do my own soon, just have to decide on a colour! Haha I'm swayed towards White, but I dunno yet. Myt go dark silvery grey.

If you go for grey instead of black it stops the tyres looking so light coloured:

Or go for something a bit different:

Forget black. No point having nice alloy wheels if you're going to make them the same colour as the tyres, and the wheel arches. May as well have steelies. Too much black in my opinion of course.

I'd go for white or silver with sparkle as mentioned :)

thats my plans if i can source another set of wheels to use as dailys. Personally not a fan of just black on red looks too bottom heavy. So if i stay with the one set of alloys it will be an anthricite colour with a silver fleck.
