Currently having my wheels refurbed at the minute, had set my self on Volvo graphite grey but the colour was alot lighter than expected, then went for a colour the bodyshop mixed themselves but again hasn't come out how i wanted.
So need some recommendations on some nice shades of anthracite/graphite.
Not too light and not too dark so i dont lose the design of the wheel.
Pics would be handy aswell, weather it be of the cars or wheels in that colour
Picture of my car if it helps
Cheers

Were you going for Volvo Dark Grey metallic like my wheels are? If so, there is 2 different versions, of which one is a lot lighter than the other - my wheels are in the darker one, my trim appears to be in the lighter one!
Don't know if that is any help to you anyway

This was a custom peal, shame the camera never took a pic as good as it looked in the flesh.

Tad too late mate, they are already in this horrid dark silver purple colour so no going back, plus the standard look is good but its down to personally taste really.

Just ask the garage if they got loads of color chips you can look through? Should have, will have loads of antracite sort of colors.
