    I'd keep it dark. I was behind a 13 reg small Citroen van with windows (you know what I mean lol) & it was a really lovely metallic grey. It was very deep paint that would still be dark but add a bit of bling..
    Carbon dipped wheels are gash, trim bits you can get away with but wheels are a big no I think.

    I'd say dark car, light wheels, light car, dark wheels..Having dark wheels on a dark car usually makes the wheels look lost.

    I must admit the dark wheels does bring the gayngold out more and makes it a deeper colour

    Cheers Jim, I know you all think they should be Dark but I think it just makes the car look Gloomy and Boring... Plus the fact that I cannot get used to the Darker look.

    I was going for a kind of Bright Chrome look until I think it was a guy called POD put some pic's up of his Saffy the other day with Bright wheels, although I liked them I thought that's just too much for the 19's.

    So I changed my mind again!

    Had my wheels done earlier this year on my Bora , these are actually three colours with the outer rim looking like polished, inner dark grey to hide the brake dust and a mid to bright in the centres they use these colours a lot on BMWs. Peter

    Thanks Neal and Pete for the Pics.... I actually like them both. Yours look much nicer with your iphone Neal as I didn't like them with your Samsung.

    Pete do you know the paint code for yours?
