alloy wheel colour

Postby turboben » Wed Jan 11, 2012 8:27 pm

what colour alloys you you think suit a white mk6 transit

i just brought some alloys and am going to give them a refurb but not sure it to keep them silver or do them another colour or a couple of colours, im going to have my company name on one of the spokes that will be in red

someone said gold would look good but not to sure about that and i was going to do them in anthracite but really cant make my mind up

Take a hint from Ford and do them silver, unless you want it to look chavvy.

My vote goes to anthracite. I'm personally not keen on gold wheels

I'd go anthracite too as they are subtle and look nice and are different enough from standard silver alloys. There are some gold wheels which look too in your face and detract from the overall look of the van/car and some shades of gold are terrible in my opinion.

At the end of the day its each to their own and its your van so I would never criticise anyone even if it wasn't my taste.

any colour is an option as i do alloy wheel refurbishment, to be honest im not a fan on gold either, i was thinking white originally but thought it may of been over the top on a white van which i thought of going dark?
