I'm going to be re-spraying my Perfos this week (can't afford a 'proper' refurb, but had such good results on my lasses Golf BBS alloys I'm happy I can DIY to a good standard).

Question is, should I stick with stock and just re-do them in silver, or go for gunmetal grey? I'd quite like the idea of spraying them grey/charcoal as this really looks nice on Titans etc, but on Perfo's, I dunno.

Anyone else running about on Perfos in grey? Would be interested in your opinons and comments.

Cheers.

Volvo did actually make some Perfo's in the anthracite

i think it depends on the colour of the car, dark colour needs silver wheels & a light colour needs the dark wheels

Agreed :D

Depends on the colour of the car really :D

Ive seen a silver 855 with dark perfo's and it looked " OK " not brill but different :D

Cheers for the comments - yeah should have mentioned my car is 'turbo red' (that's the metallic maroon colour like this one I just dredged off the net)

IMHO the perfo's look horrible in a dark colour ide stick with bright silver With the perfo's theres too much area to be dark.

Here's my Grey Columba's (pretty similar to Perfos) on my motor.

They look quite good IMO, almost graphite....
In fact the same colour as stock after a couple of weeks with DS pads..lol

Ah, the same colour as mine then. If it was me (and I do have a set of Perfos sitting in my shed, so I might), I would go for a dark grey/anthracite. White is wrong on our colour of car, and so is black. Silver is fine, but for something a bit different......but not stupid......grey all the way!
