Default Wheel refurb colour

Getting the wheels refurbished soon but in two minds what colour. Do I stay original and have the same issues I'm having now ie. brake dust tyre paint etc. Or do I go black which I'm tempted but would this take away from the look of the car ? Any thoughts ?

I had mine done In a antique bronze colour, which actually looks anthracite , until the sun hits them, looks amazing, works well on SB car. On a SG one, I'd stick to Oem. Maybe a dark gunmetal, but defiantly not black. I find black wheels, just as hard to keep clean than silver.

If they're your only set, oem.

If second set, gloss black.

IMO !

I've got black wheels on mine looks great but getting them changed to a very dark bronze/black colour! Does anyone have any pictures with other colours?

Yea there my only set . Think it's best I see pics of black wheels on the car before I commit to a change of colour. Gloss black does look great on a lot of cars of late I'm sure you'll agree

I can confirm these wheels look super on the SB Cecil

Matts pics of Has CSL's car should sway you to the dark side literally.

I have 2 sets of rims-

oem and gloss black

I had every intention of rotating the rims regularly but the black rims are never off.

Downside to gloss black- wheels off everytime for a deep clean as pagids are shite for dust.
