Hi guys, Well I have decided to get my alloys refurbed, they where originally done by the garage when I bought the car but not very good mind, now they are peeling and I have kerb rashed one.

Now I have always liked the fact they are really silver which makes them stand out. I do have the option to put them back to being diamond cut but being honest I actually don't like this look.

Anyway I now toying with the idea of going slightly grey with them, bit like gunmetal or anthracite but lighter so you still the detail of the alloy. I am not keen on black alloys so don't want to go too dark.

What you guys think? anyone have any pics?

This is what she looks like now.

Go white! It'll keep all the detail.and give you that rally look... plus than you can add those rally inspired mudflaps that help keep the bodywork clean ;)...
 
I’d stick with the silver, it’s the classiest look. Maybe gunmetal or anthracite at a push. I agree about diamond cut, I’ve never seen a set I like, they look awful in my opinion. Black wheels would just get lost in the arches.

I’m a traditionalist, I know, but for me it has to be silver. Diamond polished finish is often over fussy, too vulnerable to damage (and expensive to put right) while greys and anthracites just look like silver that hasn’t been cleaned.
 
Yeah I do like Silver and asked for the most shiniest silver but then I saw this and thought mmmm

Eww gun metal done to death... dare to be different... or follow the heard... up to you IMO if my car was white... white wheels all day long, preferably oem ones that than get hit with a high gloss white... rally look all day long.
 
here is an example of what white wheels would look like it's an a5 though...
