Silver wheels for me, I am hating the black against the blue, think black only look good with silver, white or light grey.

Yeah... they're a revelation... but they would be after coming from some severely (probably illegal) worn out Dunlops. :D

Great. Supposed to be brilliant. SteveP has also probably shod his car with these. :smiley:

I don't wish not to be the 'life and soul of the party', but can you not possibly re-do the wheels into another colour other than black? A light grey maybe if it can't be silver again?
Those amazing tyres deserve better as does your beautiful Rising Blue R.
Just my very humble opinion. :smiley:

Hey - no probs with your opinion. If we all liked the same thing, life would be boring. :smiley: I like them... for the moment. :D I may have them re-done silver or maybe another colour at some point in the future.

Here's some better photos:
