anthracite wheels anybody?

[chancha]

Guys, getting my wheels attended to in 2 weeks time. I have the choice of going down the anthracite route but I am unsure how it will clash with the saffron exterior...anybody else tried it or should I stick with silver...?

I appear to have an issue with the car between 50-85 mph.....I can sense a perceptible vibration like a wheel balance problem slightly through the steering wheel and throughout the cabin.....when I bought the car I immediately got them all balanced and thuoght it was fixed but noticed it again today......could it be that the they have not been done properly or could something else be causing it......?

I have a Saffron V70R, which has Silver wheels in good condition, but i prefer the anthracite, reckon they set the car off more and really suit the colour, and will be having mine done soon, but i guess it's personal preference. Had a similar problem on my 850R with front end vibrations, had wheels balanced and the guy said that the front wheel was buckled (which it was slightly). Had 2 new front tyres and it cured it

If the vibration dissapeard after you had them ballanced, then came back ,its likely you have lost a weight off the rim. check for any marks where the weights should be. Hope its as simple as that.
I was goin to get my wheles anthracited, changed my mind and went comletely black, my brick is metallic regent red. I think anthracite with saffron will look tops.

Silver would look best on Saffron IMHO.

set up a poll in your post mate see what the concensus is,
im a anthracite fan

[mikey]

me too!!!!!!!

[chancha]

Good idea guys but how do I do that? :)

[Vikingxl]

Silver.And i agree sounds like you have lost a balancing weight.

[Al115]

I have set up the poll for you. :)

[Mrsmopp]

Silver on saffron - the only way to go!

I agree silver on the saffron cars, but on most of the other colours i prefer the anthracite (that's what i'm getting on mine hopefully)

[stuAWD]

Although I voted for anthracite. If I were you I would take note of the opinions of the more ordained among us.

[After_Shock]

anthracite all day!

[gillespie]

I have a saffron S70R and took the grey wheels off and put on silver khans, Silver in my opinion looks best.

[chancha]

That's what I was looking for....thnaks guys for all your inputs.....looks like I'm swaying back towards silver :B_blite:

[bigndaft]

I can't decide....has anyone got a pic of the anthracite with saffron?

[mulletboy2]

I had anthracite team dynanics on my blue Rover 220 tubby.. they didn't look quite right, until I added a smoked tint to the windows.. then they looked absolutely superb IMHO.

I think anthracite would go very well with saffron though.

[chancha]

Guys, the car went in today.....was going to go for silver as a safe bet but was persuaded to go for anthracite by my pal and the guy who is going to do the painting......I'll post the photos once I get the car back-)

[M44K TS]

Very good choice, I would have said Anthracite aswell.

A friends dad has a V70R in Saffron and that has the anthracite wheels aswell, looks stunning

[Daz T5]

As mentioned earlier in the thread my wheels were silver, just had them powder coated in anthracite, they look awesome! Good choice.

Got the car back today and I think I've made a good choice......me is happy :B_steerin

[siamblue]

Wheels look nice, but Silver would've stood out more, take a look at Justins in the gallery ;)

Holy F*ck, that is awsome ...you defo made the rigt chioce there buddy!!!!!

[chancha]

Agreed that the wheels would have stood out better with silver but hey you pays your money......prefer the quietly understated look myself :insane:

[chancha]

Hey, just noticed banana man...I'm only up the road from you :haha:

You sure are, where abouts?

sunny crossgates....-)

There is no choice required. Anthracite is the only option. If this was not the case, why would Volvo re-introduce the anthracite wheel in 2005 for the new R models? You get silver alloys on every scoobie, mistso and boy-racer mobile everywhere, why be the same? We are above that!
