    R32, what color should I do the wheels??.......

    Hi guys need a little help, i have just brought my R32 MK 4 3DR in blue and I am getting the wheels reconditioned. Now I was getting them redone to there original finish but after looking around I quite like the Saturn black finish and maybe even a different color or do I keep it original??

    I would go gunmetal or white or golden bronze (think subaru).
    Black loses all the details of the wheels.

    I had shadow chrome (essentially gunmetal) on my blue Tig and it looked ace.

    You shouldnt change the colour. It just looks silly IMO
    They look the best stock, esp on a blue car
