Respraying wheels but doubting color

[Reuvers]

So my mate has a car booked in for a full respray he's doing over the weekend, and I can put my wheels in the cabbin for cheap as chips.

However I am doubting color/finish

question is, should I go for

gloss silver (clear coating on top)
gloss black (clear coating on top)
matt black
or antrecite grey/black?

this car/rims (BBS RC rims in 16")

cheers

i like the silver, but anthracite would look pretty damn good.

poll?

 

[L9 GOW]

anthracite would look the nuts on that!

 

[Cupra20]

Silver would get my vote, think anthracite/grey would be to similar to the body colour.

 

[cupramillo]

Not black for sure. I would go with silver!

 

[Brummy]

def. not black.. anthracite could just look too same-ish, but silver might be too much... err ..umm

 

[Reuvers]

real difficult...

I used to have antrecite wheels on them but not sure...

Black with the chrome middle would be pretty sick imo, maybe even it matt black.

Silver would look good, but maybe standard good?

hmm, need more reactions lol

 

[Reuvers]

black, something like this (car has similar color to mine) but then the centres polished silver like they are now

?

 

[Reuvers]

so, any more thoughts?

 

[steven878]

what about gloss black with polished centres and polished lip?

 

[Reuvers]

no, I won't be adding a polished lip. The BBS RC's don't really have a lip to start with. If it was the LM's then yes that would be a great option.

personally I am doubting between black and antrecite. THink that silver will be so 'regular'

difficult, but need to decide by Friday.

Took 2 wheels off last night and almost finished prepping both for paint. Other 2 will come off after work and will finish prepping all tonight/tomorrow night.

guy is professionally painting them for 60 quid

how about standard cupra wheel colour ?

have you thought about a metalicy flake in silver or something... ?
wouls 'look' ordinary but the closer you get you see the flake ?

or if your going black..... why dont you polish the side faces of the spokes ?

would be different and quite a nice contrast ?

 

[antnee]

a bright/light silver?

 

[Reuvers]

damn...this is difficult lol

actually, I voted anthracite/balck, but having re-reviewed you car pics I would say a bright lacquered silver would be more impactful. The grey on grey tends to look a bit dull/dirty. I love the brushed aluminium outer face/black inner face colour of new style RS4 aftermarket wheels, and it would make them far easier to clean up (superficially).

not a bad idea

for my idea, make all the black bits polished metal and make the polished bits glossy black (opposite of what is shown above ). its different and would look quite classy

I've always liked the satin black as its like antracite

but then there isn't much depth to the colour, What about a gun metal grey?

 

[cupramillo]

IS the top allot of the two OZ Vellas?

I think that they are Oz Hydras but look very different in satin black compared to thier standard colour silver

satin black could work quite well with your car colour!

as said not gloss black

however, a very dark anthracite could also work
