    penta wheel colour...

    Right then got two or three days til i send myy wheels in and i need to make me feekin mind up about the colour...

    Three in my head are;

    Black...always thought black wheels on black car are too much but they do look smart on some pics ive seen...plus wont be dirty as quick maybe? Was thinking maybe a sparkly black so its not just plain

    Anthracite/gunmetal i feel this would be nicest but quite a common choice but looks really nice when done and cleaned...

    Sparkling silver like chris had his done like they looked really nice and fresh and silver wheels do suit the h imo just i feel id be spending money on nothing as they are already that colour...

    Would love a dark purple or green something could follow a theme with however id get bored and wanna change it constantly...

    Opinions ect please already wasted time with photoshops ect so dont worry about doing anything like that but im really usure but they need doing!!!

      personally i would avoid dark colours
      as i think when the penta's are painted in dark colour ie black they loose a lot of there detail
      just my thinking
      so personally i would go anthracite or sparkling silver

      Hmm...i was thinking chris colour was called silver sparkle...so i think black sparkle would be nice similar to paintowrk but more glitter in it...

      Im thinking of something colourful for my wheel caps though if it was possible but id have to look into that after getting wheels done cause it would depend heavily on what wheel colour i go for...

      If you want a stealth look - gloss black otherwise gun metal/ anthracite or silver sparkle will look great on your car and as you said some bright centre caps

      Yes mate, Gloss black with silver sparks in sounds spot on

      As for the black doesnt get as dirty, only thing i noticed with mine is that they dont look dirty just dull ( THE GLOSS BLACK IS NOT GLOSS WITH DIRT) ....but whatever colour you have this will always be a problem ....

      UNLESS -- you get them to mix up a colour the same colour as brake dust ?? ( Just a thought )
