I will be refuebing my Plus wheels soon and wanted to ask for some ideas on which colour to go for. The car is moon grey and currently has black wheels which I like. However, I want them a bit more bad ass but still classy. I was thinking red anodised what would you suggest?

Black wheels don't look good, especially on lighter coloured cars. You lose any visual style the wheel has and the car just looks like it has black holes in the side.

Gunmetal looks nice.

Different colours of Coupe seem to suit different colour wheels

I spent ages deciding on a wheel colour for my Moonie - settled on gunmetal / anthracite / titanium / whatever - I think it suits the car nicely

I done my plus alloys in ghost or shadow chrome sprayed over a black base coat, they look awesome, change colour slightly in different lighting too, suits Porto to a T imo.

I'm currently going for a Porsche colour from 2003 "Titan metallic" or something like that, with a satin finish but it's diificult finding the colour on the web as it seems quite rare!

I will post some pics when they are done
