    Default Vxr 18" wheel colour??

    Picked up a bargain set of 18"vxr wheels last week in excellent condition, but want to refurb them in a different colour, what colour would look good on a Black 05 preface Sri 1.9cdti.
    Any photos appreciated, just looking for some inspiration!!

    Silver is good with a black car. . I've got vxr reps and had mine done in shadow chrome but then mine is not black. think that maybe a bit to dark against the black . But that's just my opinion.

    As above, a deep silver looks great on a black car. Black makes the wheels disappear against the car IMO

    Silvers boring. Ide say gunmetal grey. Or if you want to be different, I've seen a black astra with black wheels but with a glitter effect under the lacquer. Could go for something subtle with only a little glitter so you only notice it up close

    If you want them darker, paint them silver and never wash them at all, or buy some black steel wheels and don't put any wheel trims on, that will give you the desired affect
