All
Didn't want to be looking at my project car this way around but seized brembos and the 'spare' set of wheels I bought with tyres not fitting may well dictate a reverse about face approach. Car is quite a clean 20vt in broom yellow with standard silver 4 spokes and silver brembos. What do we think of red calipers (all 4), and possibly a wheel colour change to something like black/gunmetal grey or the likes?
Thanks John

I like black wheels on colours such as blue, yellow and red, so I say black wheels  Red calipers will look ok, but to me, there will be too many colours going on. If I had a yellow Coupe, it would be black wheels with yellow calipers. On my other Sprint Blue Coupe, I had black wheels with sprint blue calipers and thought it looked good  That's just my opinion though

Most interesting. Saw a broom yellow 16v on ebay with black wheels. Not a fan after seeing it.Some sort of gunmetal may be okay but I have just ordered some red calipers so I suspect shiny silver it will be. Spoke to my usual alloys specialist - they aren't too bad - but his quote was a mickey-take so he is off the team. I can see me ending up doing these myself at this rate. How much a corner are people paying for a not-too drastic refurb?
TIA

Have bitten the bullet and just had the tyres thrown on my tatty VT 4 spokes for now. I have quite a nice set of 6.5 x 16 wheels here if anyone wants them (for a consideration towards my brake overhaul!!!). Not sure what style they are - they're sort of like a 4 wide spoke cyclone type thing.

So. Procured some wheels from a member that need a refurb. A couple of them are done in a light anthracite/gunmetal type colour - which I love. Will go well with the red Brembos I think. He thinks it's the factory LE wheel colour - I've done a search unsuccessfully - anyone got the colour code for them? Many thanks. J
