once you go black!!!!!........ opinions needed

[mickjaguar]

Also have a search for 'black chrome' wheels. They're powder coated silver to begin with, then dusted with black afterwards.

im thinking these look nice ....would you say this is dark satin grey?

Looks about right. Mine are a bit darker and a bit less satin (ceramic coat makes them a little less matt) but it isn't too important to get an exact shade, just ease off a bit from jet black and shiny.
Just my opinion of course.

Reading this has made me do something at long last

Just been to the wheel refurbishers. They're going to do my wheels in anthracite gloss. He suggested doing the insides of the spokes a smidgen darker than the faces, which will highlight the angles and cut outs of my tornado wheels. Takes 2 to 3 days and is £80 per wheel.

I'll post pictures when it's done, if you can wait until 6th August.

Great stuff... should look awesome, look forward to the pictures!

 

[Hotlurve]

chose mine too.... booked in for next wednesday, landrover dark satin grey but gloss not satin so colour match, 4 wheels 355.00 all in. gonna take 3 days to do. pics will follow...... hopefully will look like this

Refurb man said these colours were the most popular colour change at the moment. He preferred satin, whereas I can't resist having something shiny

They'll make your car look even more awesome than it does now!

Yes Hotlurve and I are joining your grey wheel clique. Apparently very fashionable at the moment......................the wheels rather than the driver

Had my last cars wheels done satin and found them hard work to clean, went for gloss this time, much easier to look after.

Mine are gloss Black. That way when I bought the car. I've been thinking about getting them done grey or shadowchrome soon.

[Hotlurve]

[steviegtr]

[Northnoble]

here is my my13 p380s just after being detailed. now the wheels have a little corrosion on all 4 . got a price of 75.00 per wheel for powder coating. having just had the callipers repainted the wheels are next....... so what do i go for ? stay the same colour or go gloss black bearing in mind the colour of the callipers.... and the roof is grey not black.

im in two minds about this so dont hold back

Black wheels would look great ! I find silver boring but only my opinion.

 

[Hotlurve]

im getting it back tomorrow, ive gone gloss charcoal grey to match the hood ..... cant wait to see it

 

[Hotlurve]

so they are done and im quite pleased with the colour. seems to match the hood and window tint well.

 

[mickjaguar]

That looks really good being coordinated with the hood.

Looks good! You just need to realign the centre caps correctly to make it perfect (growler chin to valve!) ...

Great result!
