Right, i've dropped my wheels off for a refurb,and to get them reasonably round and vibration free again.
As there going to need powder coated after they've been fixed I've been thinking about which colour they should be once there done


Standard(ignore the photchopped IX kit)

+1 although I seem to have a strange fixation on stupid colour wheel at the moment :?

From a more sensible point of view, gray.
Not in E30s any more :(

Silver or white are the only colours for car wheels.
