I've always thought that alloys should be silver, but lately I'm umming ahh-ing about whether to get my plus alloys done in a dark grey/gunmetal colour. Any Grigio (or indeed any silver-y colours) coopsters got any pics of their pride and joy sporting darker alloys? Post them here, let's have a butchers! Finally my photoshop skillz are non-existant, so if somebody could photoshop this picture to do a couple of options of wheel colour (black, dark grey, gunmetal, light grey whatever) then I would have their babies (in a metaphorical way, as I have no uterus) bonus points if you can also do the fuel filler cap/wing mirrors/grille!

Here you go...

Original Pic

With Darker grey wheels

And finally (drum-roll please) Darker grey wheels, fuel cap, mirrors and grille

Don't worry about the bonus points (or baby ) I did it for

My 16 with anthracite wheels. She's no award winner but darker wheels certainly suit imho

Tasty looking coop that Dan

Nice one Workshy, you're far from workshy in my eyes!

I'm still undecided

Just get some Stilo blades in dark anthracite, all will be well in your world then

I think that would be blatant copying of a well-known ex-coopster

Yea but the guy who bought mine is not on the forum (I don't think), so you'll be original Go on, you know it makes sense.....

Very nice However I'll keep my Plus ones and get them done I think (if I go for it!)

clicky-
Do you have a set of plus wheels and stock alloys?
If so, go for it on the stock wheels. I think plus wheels look better in silver IMO

I also pondered long and hard before going for darker wheels

standard

ProRace 1.2 in anthracite

More pics, nice one chaps! Yes Tony I own both standard and Plus alloys, however everyone seems to have the standard ones darker. Nothing wrong with that at all, I just thought I'd be a bit more exclusive having plus ones anthracite. Honestly though I still can't make my mind up I guess I'll get the zender rear lip, side skirts and front LE lips on her and decide then. That's after a replacement turbo of course, mine's really smoking now
Nigel I'm not sure which I prefer for your fine beastie, it looks great on the standard plus ones, but it looks nice with the Pro Race. I may just do one side dark and one side normal so I can have best of both worlds

I love the idea of having plus ones anthracite!!
If only I could afford the plus wheels

I have the same look as Tonyd20vt but with matt black alloys although currently I only plan to use for winter, but I much prefer the look ! Car is a lot cleaner looking.

I stand corrected, that's quite subtle and looks nice!

Agreed,that looks awesome Dan I'm swaying towards polished anthracite

i also have exactly the same look as tony d even the clear side repeaters and kit and i think dark rims on silver looks awesome

My car, which I'm hoping to save...

Subaru black and then violet pearl over the black, wheels, grille, side badges, fuel filler cap...

What do you think?

Where am I looking, Will? I'm just getting Alfa exhausts from that link!

Scroll... Down.... And the first page has some artier black and white shots...

Gotcha! thanks for the pics

Pinin,

What colour would you have your grill if you went for darker wheels? Color code it? Lester, Standard or Plus grill?

I'd have to colour code it. I'm probably going to get my Plus grille, plus alloys and wing mirrors done the same smoked chrome colour as Danthemanc's rims. That would look

Heres some more photos for you to look at to show how they appear in different light. Paint your calipers at the same time. Red looks good and you can get the Brembo decals online.

I like the LE titanium wheels on a silver coupe:

It's very.... well it's very mundane and a bit rep-mobile.

I'm never letting it go

Dan that colour is phenomenal. My mind's made up, I'm going for smoked chrome colour. Won't be for a couple of months yet mind.

Kimmen, looks amazing (even tho' it's not porto )

Needs clear side repeaters tho'

Thanks New foglights & clear side repeaters are added after the photo was taken.

We're both stuck with it, just have to make the best out of what we've got.
