What colour for my RX's

In my quest to sort my car out cosmetically I'll be getting my RX's refurbed at the end of August. Not even had them a year but 2 seperate garages have kerbed a wheel and I've lightly kerbed the other 2 without even knowing! Anyway I'll be getting them powdercoated in the nearest possible colour match....unless people have other suggestions

A tad darker than standard, not quite anthracite but in between grey and silver.

I know it's getting common, but I think black wheels look good on silver.

When you gonna update your sig pic anyhow max?

As for wheels agreed with the others - an anthracite or similar.

Mine go in for refurbishment in a few weeks. I was thinking of a red tint to the silver not too sure tho. What do you guys think?

Whites on a black looks quite retro Ive seen it. Ye red tint. Would be a silver powdercoat (just like standard) then a coat of clear red paint on top of that to give it that red hint

That still looks Sh*te, my opinion, white wheels should stay on Jap cars. Although RMs/RSs with polished dishes and Alpine White Centres are MINT
