Sorry to hijack but what are those brakes?!!Originally Posted by AshDVS
I did mine in Ford/FPV 'Dark Argent'
Similar but darker looking than Anthracite.
Back on thread, didn't like the idea of white till I saw those pic's, white wheels reminded me of of the white eight spoke steel wheels that were all the rage in the 80's! but it works!
Anything else is really just what Volvo has done already, but a darker silver would look cool.

Thanked 150 Times in 122 PostsI'm hoping to take the wheels down to the powdercoaters this weekend. Coincidentally, Nealevo is selling his Nebs, but as I've just bought some 17in tyres I'm broke - and the Nebs are 18s of course. Bummer.
So I'm keeping the Comets, and they'll be shadow chrome most likely. Or maybe anthracite. I don't know - I'm going to look at their swatch cards and see what looks best against black
Thanks for the input everyone, appreciated as always
