    What colour wheels on Salmon Red C70

    Picking my new motor up tomorrow. Ive won a set of Comets on Ebay too, and Im gonna refurb them, but Im wondering whether to get them done in Anthracite, or Bright Silver. Im thinking a darker colour, but then I think bight silver will freshen her up a bit. Cant decide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thankyou, Goodnight....much love

    Bright Silver will look great on her mate, Anthracite only works on certain colours, like Saffy,

    Cool

    Silver for flash in your face and dark for moody dude, your colour suits both (lot of help I know) but, if I had your colour (IMHO) I would go dark. Is this an age thing?

    Anthracite looks good on red cars but sadly done too many times. Do what i want to do, get a metalic silver so the wheels shimmer in the sunlight instead of boring flat silver.
