Wheel colour change?

So, since the exterior of the car is pretty much finished, I don't think the black spokes and polished lips suit the new body colour and I'm toying with the idea of a refurb.

At the minute I fancy a dark silver/chrome colour as seen on some of the Weds Sport range like this (I'd actually love those wheels but can't afford them :():

Any suggestions welcome with wheel pics if you like.

 

Cheers

Silver all the way. Even thought the chrome is nice don't do it mate, ive just had all hells trouble removing the chrome from my weds sports.

 

Car looks stunning BTW didn't even know you had another.

 

Cheers Jake. Not a new car just a lot of work done on my old one - engine was pulled out and refreshed too. Keep meaning to do a thread to capture it all but its nearly all done now with the exception of the interior retrim so it'd all be retrospective!

 

Been following your build thread and the amount of hours sunk into that wheel refurb does look a total ball ache - top job on them though bud!

 

I think Nic's all black suggestion would work but not about just a plain silver to be honest. Have seen this colour on the LFA and like it:

I vote gold/bronze, against your car colour, I think that could look really nice - but not sure how it would suit those particular rims. More of a BBS style thing. I don't think It looks bad in black to be fair, a gunmetal colour would look pretty stealthy but give presence too

Looking lovely then! Definitely get a thread up!

 

Thanks mate, I would never buy chromed wheels again after seeing what it does to them, and how short a lifespan the chrome has.

 

That coulor looks much more like it, I would keep the polished lip though.
