I do like the anthracite too, but i just thought the black is that bit more a contrast., especially after seein DamoR's wheels, very nice. plus can get it do cheap!,
Please if anyone can help with a picture or a photoshop of one?

It's really hard to capture black wheels in photos, but I still think those pictures look superb! Still very fond of DamoR's wheels too :D

My missus thinks black/dark grey wheels look dirty, but I think they look the business but only really on light coloured cars. I much prefer matt to gloss black. the_prophet's flash red MS Paint effort looks good too. Better than i thought they would look on a red car.

the_prophet where is that pic from? Is it your car? Looks like the place I bought my LCR from in Sussex - Churchs.

Two of my wheels could do with a touch up, so a colour change isn't totally out of the question in the future ;)

Yeah, I was happy with them. Nice couple of blokes and a good selection of cars. Would go back to them in the future. You didn't happen to see a black 306 lying around did you? My old car. Was on their website for a while. Aaaah, happy days. Not as happy as now though!!

Back to black wheels - I used to see an S3 regularly around S / SW London area. It was kind of electric blue or royal blue with tints and matching black RS4 multi-spoke (9 spokes or so?) black alloys. Really looked good.

Yeh think i can remember seeing it on the website as i was keeping an eye on my car, see how much they made on it in the end. But i'd probably go back, was just bit of a distance to travel for me from Bristol lol.

Theres a fair few yellow ibiza cupras on here with black wheels which i think look spot on, definatley suits some colours more than others.
