Black alloys look [censored] ,gloss black wheels on a sprinty blue, it will look like a Lego car frown

Anthracite looks great as it not too dark and keeps a little silver to it.

Gloss black!

Don't do them in Matt black, or if you do, then laquer them to make them a shiny gloss black laugh

Now I'm looking at MrC profile picture 4 posts above and your picture Neil, the silver alloys just look classy and really suit the blue coupe.
Black shiney alloys look chavy and ruin the look and style of the car.

All my opinion obviously smile
