Alternative wheel colours?

[idwoodvale]

I'm considering having my set of Cup 3 17" wheels refurbed and put back on the car as the 18s I'm on at the moment are a bit harsh for every day driving.

My car is in Titanium silver (or is that Sapphire? ashamed to say I'm not sure[&:]). Whilst I have the chance I thought I'd consider a change of colour.
Does anyone have ideas on a wheel colour other than the standard silver?

Are there any Photoshop experts on here?

I vote any colour other than silver []

I think a light graphite would look good. I've also seen a few very dark bronze coloured wheels on Lamborghini's which might look great on your car. It would probably help to see a larger picture of your car again if you've got one, and it'd also help those who are good with photoshop too.

I'll get a new bigger picture on here as soon as I can. Bronze sounds brave! Like the sound of graphite.

Graphite would be my choice too, but with a polished/diamond cut lip.

Some bronze ones here http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/501014.htm (not sure why I am lookng at 964s, I can't afford one!) and I like them a lot on this red car. Very colour dependent I would suspect.

I cannot now find the pics of the bronze wheels I saw, but they were quite a lot darker than the ones James linked to on that 964 (which I like, although maybe not on a red car so much). I'll keep looking!

Black is the new black []

Here's my previous S2 wheels.

I love Cup1's on 944's and Rich - they look absolutely fabulous [8D]

The only improvement you could make would be to wrap them in something other than Kumho's. Are they KU31's?

I agree, those cup 1's are lush on Rich's car as are those Bronze wheels on the red 964. I like the way the Bronze colour is quite subtle. I think if it was any heavier then it would ruin the effect and just look tacky.

I think as a general rule Silvery colour cars including metallic silvery blue cars suit matching coloured wheels as with Rich's car. I'm not so sure that red wheels on a red car looks as good.

I also really like the black wheels on Pauls car. I've seen matt black cup 1's on Rennlist which I also think looked fabulous.

Thank I no longer have the S2 - The tyres were Kumho 712's and I have to say they weren't bad.

Currently have the original 16 inch forged D90 looking wheels on my turbo.

Black looks great but they do get dirty quickly,

I agree, black is black

Mmmm, have to agree that given your car's colour bronze would be a stunning choice and set your car off nicely IMHO.
