Parthiban
definitely the dark ones
Fidgits
I've got to ask... how did you change the colours...
vince-com
Gris métal foncé, un gris légérement different et un chouilla plus clair que celui de ta voiture.

@d'taleur
Vince

PS: in a dark metal gray, a bit lighter than the car itself
djanderso
Gunmetal!

I was never really a fan of painted wheels until I saw the new Honda Accord in grey with painted wheels and it looks good.
Arif
I think the white or Grey would look better, I am a wizard with photoshop skills, is that how you changed the colours :shutit:
imi
Yep GunMetal would look better.. :winky:

By the way, have you posted this on the .net aswell. i am sure i've seen the same pics there too :blink:
javadude
I like neither - silver or chrome would be better but each to his own. But if I had to choose out of the two I'd go for the dark grey ones.

Monster-Mat

yep

How about the silver and the grey? Like PeeJ's wheels (er, apart from the fact they are silver and black). Do a search and it should come up with a recent post/pics of the wheels.

(I'd do it myself but I'm pretending to be working!)
Unity_neil
or Gunmetal/blue with Chameleon Flake!

That'd look a lot better than just grey...

grey ! makes it look so evil !
white ! makes it look like it should be on the playstation gt3 !

both colours look coooooooooool !
Bazza-old
think i prefer the white but the grey looks good

nice red callipers as well :D
UKPulse
White ones you'd have to clean every day! Go for grey - they only need cleaning every other day... ;)
uzziz
gunmetal will look better but personally you should go for chrome...its your choice to make..hope its the right one.

Nice wheels though................................................. :winky:
yemgi
answers : yes the pics were photoshopped B)
yes i posted aswell on .net :oops:

I will make it dark grey as everybody suggest on every forum I asked , I thought about white cause I had white wheels on my previous car that was dark grey too :blush: and I think it looked good but it was not very discrete :whistling:
Bobski
If i had to choose i would say grey, cos i think the white just doesnt do anything for the car.

But i would also look into the chromed gunmetal effect (v cool).
Maz
i choose [font="Courier"][color=yellow]GOLD[/color][/font]
hehe :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

neil is200
my car is the same as yours b(colour) i've got lexus chrome alloys i.e the dark ones and they look the dogs
yemgi
Thanks mates for your advices, I'll go for a dark colour( gunmetal or better titanium if I find it ) :ph34r:
billybandit
i think it looks the best in the first picture :)
Parthiban

you got a picture of your wheels on the car?

true looks fantastic
javadude
Mine are gunmetal at the moment and they look ok but they'll look better when I wash them and they turn back to silver. :D
greeneyes
Gunmetal grey yes, but not the actual body colour! Make them 2 shades lighter to give them some contrast, or they will vanish into the body mass and make it look as though the car has no wheels. Some Hondas have dark body-coloured wheels and it looks truly disgusting!
neil is200
now your asking, yes but i'll have to find them.
