Picked up my Phase 1 Vectra GSi wheels tonight, although im undecided as to what colour to refurbish them in yet. I am currently thinking the Lighter shade of gunmetal below is now being/has been used too much, the Dark gunmetal however is slightly different though.

Your Opinions????

The car in question-



The wheels to be refurbished-






The choice of colours

Really really dark Gunmetal-



Lighter gunmetal/anthracite-



Normal alloy wheel silver-



Black-



White is not an option.

Silver, anthracite/gunmetal/grey is so overdone now.

white just simply is not an option. i do like the wheels in white and it looks awesome in pictures, but thats it, as soon as you drive down the road they are filthy, therfore the car looks filthy and not looked after with having mucky white wheels, so i need a colour to conceal the brake dust a bit more.

the white DTM's are being refurbished too in their original colour and being put to one side for shows etc.

wel personally i wouldnt change the wheels, like taking a gsi kit of a genuine gsi!

but if i was to i would stil chose a white wheel, if your only problem with white is they get dirty, simply clean them more often

I thought the gsi wheels were for winter anyway, i think metallic silver would look best.
