    I think Bronze looks the most unique. Black on black FTL! (Unless it has the chrome lip of course).. The chop of the white looks good though.

    Definately Bronze!

    Satin black, go the stealth look and paint your calipers something bright

    bronze or a burnt orange will look great on the black gen2. I like the white but a bugga to clean.

    Well done Matt.

    Matt sheer genius dude. Littlered i agree completely.

    Tim gold will start to turn mustardy, not cool haha, and if i go gold all the subie owners will have a whinge. My paint guy has this awesome bronze that goes from near black to burnt orange depending on angle, i think that might be crazy enough to work.

    Postman i was thinking with your red sticker you could try a cherry blossom flek in black? I think that would look crazy too.

    Soo many choices, doig my head in haha, maybe i should pick one and roll with it.

    Edit: Matt are ou using photoshop? I have it and if you can let me know what tool you are using i can stop pestering you for colours haha

    Nah mate im using gimp. All i did is cut out the wheel, make a new layer of it colored white, deleted the middle of the wheel and then changed the color and blending mode of it.

    Okay guys car is booked in for wednesday and i have shortlisted the colours that i think would look good to what is down below.



    I did a bit of a rough chop and I am honestly thinking about the bronzey brown in the middle or the red. But it is all a waiting game until i bite the bullet.

    Thanks everyone for your input and MPSMatt for all the chops.

    You can not have black rims on a black car unless you have 2 or 3 piece rims.

    Then you can have the centre black and the rim itself polished or natural...

    You need something to break up the blackathon.

    From your picture I would take the bottom right selection which is the gunmetal grey or leave them unpainted and let the brake dust build up so you have brake dust brown rims.

    Now if you had any other coloured car satin black would be my first choice.

    HRE C20's


    If you had those HRE's you could have the centre metalic black and the lip natural/polished (the pic is polished) and it would look the business. Only problem is HRE's cost the earth!

    Car Shine in Melbourne stock them. But generally only in Euro spec.

    The C20's are $1880 per wheel for 18's.
