I've never liked black wheels, but I think the Mugen hardtop makes that.

Not really a huge fan of black wheels, you don't really see the "shape" of the wheels, I feel.


I think I'll go with a dark, subtle bronze (not like a bright gold) or gunmetal.. hmmmz..

Next question, does anyone have a good website to buy these sort of wheels from? For example if you want new Work or Enkei wheels it seems one has to jump through countless hoops and find somewhere to import them?

I'm definitely in the "old man" category now

for the Rota Fighters, I bought them from http://www.rotashop.co.uk/ and they were really helpful and delivered on time. I am a happy bunny

I'm in a similar predicament in deciding what colour wheels to fit on my Silverstone...

I'm stuck between just normal polished/silver rims:

Or black with polished lips:

I was contemplating doing my slipstreams in a standard issue nato drab olive matte green...? I think I'll need a photoshop before being brave enough to actually get them sprayed!

I've got three different colour slipstreams at home, which I'm going to trial fit this weekend,

- one flat black
- one white
- two gunmetal with a polished lip

I'll take some photos of them on my silverstone and post them if your interested?

There are some gunmetal Work and Enkei wheels on eBay at the moment, unfortunately in America, but both from the same dealer and they ship to the UK. Don't know what you'd have to do to go about importing them though.
