When my tyres wear out on my T5 i am going to get a set of 17" wheels and tyres to replace the standard ones. I was looking at These 17" ers (http://www.alloy-wheels-shop.co.uk/c1_29_5380.htm) but can't decide on Black or Silver. Does anyone have any pics of black wheels on a black T5? Cheers.

I agree 200% with Fraz.

Dark wheels on a dark car look daft. Gotta be silver.

They have a nearly chrome finish and a wont get that again so dark is the only way to go in my opinion, 3 are scuffed now so wont be long lol Its had dark pegs on it and it looked gorgeous so its a deffo

Had mine done in Graphite. I think black would be ott, but the standard silver is a bit stark against black paintwork. I like this compromise.
Cheers, Chris.

My comets are graphite against my black S70 - looks nice and stealthy but I agree with Chris black wheels would be OTT. If I were to have mine refurbed tho they'd be done silver as alloys always look bigger in silver than they do in the darker colours.

A115 had some Graphite Comets for sale. Not sure if he still has 'em though.

normally i would have said black wheels but sadly, they have been done too many times on crappy 1.2 clio's and corsa's

So i would say silve. But with a twist.

I was toying with the idea of having my standars wheels refurbed but with a metalic silver. Should look very nice when the sun hit's them
