RIGHT! This site is deader than a ghost town lately so I thought I'd post...

What colours do you think would look cool on my Focus if I got my alloys resprayed?
I'm not doing black alloys this time as they look grey after 10mins of driving, they are a pain to clean and also common as muck!
I'm thinking either:
- Keeping them the colour they are and then getting them refurbed silver in the future as one is curbed and the rest are mint
- Anthracite is my top colour so far I think
- Any other good/mean colour ideas guys? Must go with the perf blue though!


Many thanks!
Andrew

I think White would look pretty cool. Seen a few mk7 fiesta s1600's in blue with White wheels and they always looked cool! It could only look better on an rs!

my view is always to look factory so I would run with anthracite.

Keep them silver as they are. The car looks amazing as it is. Don't ruin it with black wheels!

Wonder how Matt Black would fair to getting dirty?

Would be different that's for sure.

Cheers for the comments guys
I'm finding the standard brakes really good Kenny but yes AP's are the sex HAHA
I agree with the majority of you guys, Anthracite is definitely my top favourite at the moment too!
Lee - interesting Blue lip?
Matt Black - hmm if it's slightly textured it would be interesting to see how it holds up? Maybe worse then the slippery gloss black as the brake dust would cling more I dunno!? lol

Definitely going for a change after the winter months
It will keep my modding bug at bay gently haha!

Waiting for winter to end so that spraying them doesn't get ruined by grit on the road
Definitely first thing I do next year when the snow/frost goes

I saw a blue focus st with blue standard wheels the other day amd was nearly sick all over the place! I still have flashbacks. Black with blue speckles would look good.

Orange lol!

Cheers Rob

It does indeed Micky. I said I didn't want to get black and follow the pack BUT I may go Piano Black to match all the plastics
Everyone else is a cop out and goes gloss black
Gotta wait for the snow to come and go though still
Can't wait though!
