what colour???

[nathT5]

ive just bought myself a set of 215x45x17s and i,m wanting the R-alloys refurbed at the same time,
but i cant make my mind up what colour to go for, i like to be different and stand out from the crowd,
the cars red and the alloys are anthrasite, but they all are, arent they?

the choice is -

anthrasite (standard looking)
satin black (i love satin black alloys)
white (not done white before)
yellow (totally nuts but different)

opinions please, or other suggestions.....

[nathT5]

btw, ive not totally lost it suggesting yellow,
the other day i saw a dark grey 997 GT2 with bright orange wheels and stickers,

[nathT5]

this is an alfa 75 racer that a mate of mine prepares,
red with yellow definately works well but i,m not sure if it does on a volvo estate,

am i just nuts???

I say either keep them anthracite or do them silver. Defo don't do them white, white on a red car would look awfull. Keep em one of the right shades unless your putting aftermarket alloys on.

Anthracite on a Red car for me looks "right" but hey if you want to be different go with what you feel looks best.

Maybe its just an italian thing, but white rims on a rosso car is cool!

Well not being bias but I would go for Black. Black always looks good on red. By the way Red is definetly one of the better colours lol.

most of my previous cars have had the wheels done satin black,
its now become a bit of a trademark of mine, these will probably end up the same.

nice,
you could say i,m an alfa lover at heart as i,m on my 10th now,
ive always said "alfas should have black wheels" but that does look well.

you cheeky bugger (only joking)

i get bored quickly, the cars have been great and the old ones ARE RELIABLE, just dont mention rust,
ive had 10 in 7 years, 2 at a time (you need a spare)
i,m just very greedy and i,m never satisfied and always looking for the next project,
ive always wanted a T5 and i,m now hooked but i still have an alfa too,
i say i suffer from OCBD (obsessive compulsive buying disorder)

pics of my other toy...check out the number plate.

anthracite or silver would look best. white if you wanna be different. could make it look like this



i wish i could get my saffy V70R to sit that low

[dicky b t5]

Volvo Bright Silver is the way to go !!

[volvokid]

Anthracite, I wouldn’t have the balls to go white but i think it would look cool and stand out a bit if you dare, but it could end up a horrible mistake and you would need to go the whole hog and get the white racing stripes lol.
