They will be going onto my silver coop with the LE kit. Just not sure what colour to have the wheels powdercoated. I've always liked the LE coloured wheels but not too sure how a set of Plus wheels would look in that colour. Any suggestions ?

roly Unregistered R	I love anthracite but think on a silver car you've gotta stay silver. So many different opinions where wheels are concerned though - like oil!

pstruck Unregistered P	I really like mayzon's car pictured above. I know that it's Moon Grey, not Steel Grey, but I think the colour works on the Plus style wheels. I have Steel Grey coupe on 17" Team Dynamics multi-spoke alloys. I had them refurb'd in a dark metallic grey (a shade or two darker than mayzon's) and I think I went a bit too dark. If I was doing it again, I'd definately stick to the LE colour and no darker on the silver car.

Been toying with the idea
