Evening all,
I'm dropping my VMR710's off with A1 wheels in the morning and I'm still undecided on what colour to settle on, cutting it fine I know :scared:. Over the past two weeks, I've been swaying between black (various finishes), different shades of gunmetal, dark silver etc. Anyway, what colour do you guys think would suit the following car as I'm really struggling to nail down a final colour/finish.
The car in question:

Cheers guys, hopefully I'll have made my mind up by the morning....

I wouldn't go black you will lose all definition of the wheel design
-
I go for Jet anthracite
-
God I love VMR's, awesome wheels. Been convincing myself for 2 years now NOT to buy them! :love:
Anywho, it's not in your list BUT if A1 can do it, I'd go for a VRM special, Sunken Treasure (or as close as they can get) Would look immense against your R's colour......

I like gunmetal. Looks nice and glossy :)
Think I might have to do my rear badge in that colour! Maybe a little darker!

+1 :drool:
-
The Sunken Treasure looks a little full on for me.
I'm swaying towards Gunmetal at the minute, most likely gloss as I'm fairly sure that the matte finish will become a little tedious with time. But then again, I do like the jet anthracite....
-
If not the Sunken Treasure then the Gloss Gun Metal gets my vote. I had my Pescara's done in Gun Metal, they really did look the business.
sh*t pic....
