New alloys

[johnnybbad]

Ok so i picked up a set of these 18" Atlantis alloys today to go on my V70

All the wheels need repainting so i was thinking of a possible colour change

I'm siding towards a satin black colour but i also kinda like anthracite, or maybe original silver lol

Whats everyone's opinions ?

The car will be lowered 30mm in the next couple of weeks also

nice choice dude!
i dont think you can go wrong with colour choice tbh.
ive got satin black bbs ch on mine. ive polished them up so theyr quite glossy now but theyll be painted complete gloss back one day lol

I've got gloss black with silver flek on mine.

Keeping with simple black works well with the exhisting black and white theme the car already has.

Ive followed the theme into the engine bay and interior on mine and it works really well.

You didn'tget the car off a big lad called Dan did you?

Bought the car in Leeds off a guy called Eric, think he was a trader just selling on as all paperwork is in different name

And yeah i think black wheels sooo look right on white cars

Don't forget to remove the nivomat shocks and replace them with standard ones when you lower it or the ass end will stay up where it is ;)
