I would say Black with silver wheels.

Not a fan of the bright colours on the car. Some of the lighter silvers and greys are ok, but they seem very wheel style/size/colour dependant.

I've seen some with small wheels, and it just makes them look odd. I'm no fan of massive wheels on cars, but they need to be a certain size to make them look right!


The only wheels that look right are the 22". The 20" don't look any better than the 19" hence I didn't up grade. I may look at 21" but I'm also thinking about keeping my 19s and getting them done Black as per project hero.

I'm happier with them than I was when I first saw a picture of them.

The main thing is you're happy with them mate.

Everything everyone else says is subjective and just an opinion. Thumbs Up

Not normally a fan of white but that looks better than the black. The black looks much too drug dealer for my tastes.

White with black pack is so 2011. Rolling Eyes
Black on the other hand is just black (& common).
Things have moved on, I'd go in between and go grey. Wink

White is currently the most popular UK car colour and has been for a while. Whenever a colour becomes "too" popular, there's always a backlash. So inevitably it will go the way of silver, quite possibly in the near future I'd say.

It's sometimes called "Recession White" because it's usually the no cost colour option. I guess people are spending money on toys inside rather than paint outside.
