Default Thoughts on wheel finish...

What do you guys think for my 'work in progress' C2 on aluminium RS Cup 1 wheels (7.5" and 9"). The normal silver finish or anthracite with silver rim?

Thanks.

Personally, I would do all anthracite.

Exactly, much cleaner and it's a one piece wheel, why try to make it look like something it's not?

Just my opinion

I'd go silver or anthracite. I don't really like the centers being a different color than the lip on a 1 piece wheel

I do like silver on Cup 1's. For a small change, why not try the bright silver finish available on some BBS rims (Wurth paint I believe)?

Do bright pink if you can or just stick with the factory finish.
