Thumbs up What colour wheels on black?

Got some OZ's on the way and they are the gunmetal colour at the mo. Im not sure if this will be a little dull on a black / black car so just looking for opinions.

I can get them changed to pretty much any finish from a local alloy specialist.

If you had pimp red leather I'd say keep em dark, maybe even black. If your worried about it being too dull you need to go back to silver bling.

I've been looking about at Lotus Elise S2's/Exige's and I like the black/black with black rims best

Personally I like the "natural" metal shine. It's a personal thing, I reckon you should find some photos of black cars on the net with various coloured wheels and make up your own mind. My opinion is that for a plain black car black wheels look daft, grey wheels look uninteresting, red/yellow/blue etc just look tarted up...

Each to their own...

Ta for the views. Some cars look touch with black, like the elise, but think the S would be very plain.

Bronze is nice, but maybe not on black???

Was hoping someone would put some pics of black ones up

Bronze or gold (for mega bling) on black.

Well, I dont like gold or chrome, so its either:

1) Leave them as gunmetal - bit dull?
2) Go for a kind of bright silver
3) Bronze - will be a bit shiny so not dull

Im leaning towards bronze but not seen many pics to work out if it will look ok or not. Its different I guess and dont think it would be tacky?
