Reet, back in the day we all put silver wheels on silver cars and it was cool.

in recent times this seems to be a no no, anthracite and black on silver is now generally accepted.

however imho i dont think silver on silver is a bad thing, manfacturers still churn out this combo?

thus i have decided to rebel and go full circle on this.

the anthracite superleggeras are going and 18" oz chronos on silver going on tommorow

wheels now on:

Silver on Silver looks good.

It's White on Silver which looks bad.

Silver on silver is good.

I prefer silver alloys to dark alloys. Dark alloys you lose the detail.

it depends on what look you are after, dark wheels give a more agressive look to the car

silver on silver is good, too many people into black rims these days, seems pointless as from a distance looks like the cars on steel rims with no hubcaps!

I'm not a fan of any colours other than silver. Possibly a light anthracite colour.

I like diamond cut wheels though

Nice Wheels... I would say that though

If you plan to keep them, try and look for a spare 5th wheel, cause they're out of production now... or at least they are to fit mine .
