well the missus was in the car... but i don't think she was braking!E30Mark wrote:Black looks good on your car...

the sidelights were on so i guess those lights are the rear lamps not brakelights.
anyway cheers for the comments i was leaning heavily towards black and my mind is made up. just unsure whether to polish the rims or spray silver (they don't look too bad in the pics but the wheels are pretty fcuked and need a refurb. ) polished would look cool but might be hard work/hard to keep looking shiny? i need something low maintenance!
better buy more paint and spray the other 2...

once you go black you dont go back!!!
my advice is to polish the outers, dont paint em, and once polished do not put clear laquer on them. didi that with mine at first and they went yellow under the laquer. polish them at a wheel refurbish shop, then invest in a dremmel and a polishing wheel and polish those bad boys once a week for half hour, looks sweet at night!!

My vote has been cast.
Black center'd wheels rock. They look really good on yours without the rear spoiler too.
Nice one Toby!
