Would love some T5R wheels, be it the 5 spokes or the super rare multi spoked ones like the guy over the road has, grrrr, but as I don't intend on doing much to the car, would like to know what the standard wheels are like in black..
Anyone have pics of them on a car?

thanks

Well my graphite grey titans are nearer black, and I and others think they look very stealthy and mean on my black eastate!
I think black wheels look good on some ie darker non metalic cars , and silver / grey looks good on metalics.

I will apologise now for the absurd amount of SAM pics that are going to end up in this thread but as its for demonstration purposes I think there is the need.

SAM's wheels were very dark before the re-furbish, but it wasn't till I did this I realised how much better they looked that bit lighter.

I think they both look good , but Grey/silver is the best option on a red car !
But black looks brill on a black car or funnily enough on a yellow one 2!
People even come up to me who I only know by sight and say nice wheels , when I first had em done predestrians and people in the rush hour Qs couldnt stop staring both young and old!

What about black wheels on a white 855 with limo windows?

I fancy having mine done in Anthracite/Gunmetal (it's a black car). I live in Shrewsbury & can't find a place nearer than Melton Mowbray who will do them & lend me a set of wheels meanwhile. Any ideas?
Cheers, Chris.

Thanks, Goof; I've been quoted £50 a wheel by Alloy Wheel Repairs of Melton Mowbray. They say they'll lend me a set while they do mine. Somewhere closer would be good tho'
Cheers, Chris.

I've just refurbed my Anthracite Volans to a darker Gunmetal, which I think improves the car's look - mind you the original colour was a refurb too, so what the real anthracite looks like, heaven knows.

I sold a set of refurbed Titans in a dark slightly metallic anthracite to Paul in the VOC - he put a pic of them on the VOC website gallery, so you can look and judge.
