Silver or Black

[campagnolo]

I don't know if this has been covered before for grey Granturismo cars, but I don't much like the colour of the rims on my GT S. They just mostly look dirty. I'm toying with going either gloss black or chrome plain alloy. Thoughts?

Silver...black will make the tyres look gray.

If you went for Grigio Mercury that might be a happy medium.

I actually think they look good as they are so no help from here I'm afraid

 

[madmanmart]

As above from me.

Me too they look spot on in my opinion

Great colour car but not sure the alloy colour is an issue. I'm not a fan of those alloys if I'm honest. Change them for some nice ones & your set. IMHO of course

 

[campagnolo]

So - the consensus is to change the alloys (£1K+), not their colour (£240). Hmmm.

 

[GeoffCapes]

I think they look good as they are personally.

But hey, each to their own.

Can't help but wonder if that's actually me....

Catman, is that Chris from AlfaOwner with the silver 156? And do you still have the Alfa with the V6 in the back (that was an epic thread)?

No sir. I had a couple of Blue 156s and a 116 with a V6 in the front. I have met the Chris to whom you refer, though.

For those rims, that colour looks good.

Anthracite also looks great with that body colour (my alloys are that colour).

Black! Brake dust does not show either.. Maybe a satin black or semi-gloss. The stradale has a kind of metallic semi-gloss that looks great IMHO.
