Dunno if anyone saw this today but this weeks Autocar magazine has a long term update on their ST @ 16,000 miles.

He's had the wheels powdercoated black. Look quite mean

Agree there is a good contrast there. Not sure if it would suit it quite as much with other colours but definitely goes well with white.

It would probably look better if it was taken out in the sun not a underground car park type place.

Not in any of the pics I posted. It might have been there but not where I was. A lot of white ST drivers get black wheels and I hate that.

Anyone else think that those wheels just look dirty?! Alloys should be shiny and silver imo!

Got a copy of the magazine.

16,000 miles and no faults.

Quote:

"If I keep up the current pace, I should see 25,000 miles before the year's out, which sounds just fine to me. How many superminis - and I kid you not - could tempt you out of an SL500?"

Not bad eh?
