Default playing with some 5 spoke 18s - colour suggestions?

Picked these up off ebay for cheap.

Need a proper refurb really, but i scuffed and primed them, and offered them up to the car. Just to if i like them, in primer i actually like them more than i thought i would.

Thinking with this design solver might look a bit plastic, favouring a anthracite/graphite gark grey / gun metal effect.

Any suggestions?

With such an open spoke design, you may want to look into bigger brakes and rotors so they fill in behind the spokes a bit...

I like those - very simple Anthracite grey metallic would look great.

LOL I think the dustbin bags i used in the pics works quite well in that respect , may not be a long term solution

I know, sad are'nt I (I would have been in for them if theyd been 17)

Lee is a really nice bloke, though Ive only met him once. His 964 was awork of art

The black leather console in my car and the lower dash delete are from Lee

Great wheels - I had a set on a Maxima long ago, they look huge due to the way the spoke goes all the way to the edge.

I'd go radical, gold on a black car looks pretty amazing...
