What colour/shade did you go for.

The wheel I have done looks great, but its too dark a shade of silver imo

He's being serious, Halfords sell wheel paint and it's called 'wheel silver'

I used Ford Strato Silver on mine when I did them, I have no pics though.

we use Simonize wheels silver and thats pretty light and good imo, very close to vauxhall star silver as i have sprayed a door shut of a corsa with it when i welded the hinge back on and the match was very good!

I'm not joking, I was actually yelling you the colour that wheels are painted. It's called wheel silver.
