supra_ufo Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Looking to alter the colour of my rims, I want a more aggressive / sleeper colour, the obvious choice is black but I was wanting some other opinions. Suggestions on colours guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 You might get away with a slightly darker silver/grey colour, but black would look awful IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mark Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I had my wheels refurbed by Speedwells just over a week ago in Hyper Silver and I love them, depepnding on the light they look either very silver or a smoked chrome or a pure chrome.

Scott Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Anthracite would look way better than all of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Anthracite would look way better than all of those Scott that colour just looks like a gun metal :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Scott that colour just looks like a gun metal :-) It does indeed. It has a stunning tint of bronze through it though You really need to choose the shade of anthracite in the flesh as pictures will never do it justice.

Scott Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 This is a reasonable example of the colour I'm talking about. It looks like what I'm suggesting on my laptop screen, hopefully it'll be similar on yours. as I said though, I wouldn't choose any colour based on a picture. Always get a sample first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Do you have a colour code for it? I have googled it and various people say its not an actual colour. I have been looking at BMW Sparkling Graphite which looks very similar to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been looking at BMW Sparkling Graphite which looks very similar to that. No I don't unfortunately, never looked into it just always thought it was a lovely combination for certain colours. I've seen BMWs with very similar colour wheels, I always thought they were anthracite, graphite sounds like a good description though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) Is Anthracite: 226.618 (PPG) Anthracite is definitely a colour, there just isn't any specific paint code for it as you get different shades. Personally I would go with a dark anthracite colour. If you go to the person you are looking to get your wheels done with and ask them to give you a couple of samples you will be able to see what colour you fancy. Edit: BMW Wheels done in anthracite... According to the guy the second pic looks darker than they actually are, bad pic quality. First pic is more like how they look. I would go for a similar colour... just a tiny bit darker Edited June 19, 2013 by Scott (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
