I want a nice shiny silver with some nice flake in it for my wheels! Just trying to decide which one? I don't want the silver to look flat as some do. The standard vaux wheel colour is good on my Sri's (star silver??) so might go with that but if you guys have any good suggestions?

My dad got his LCR wheels powder coated his a high flake silver finish and they look a little like this in direct sunlight.



Are you getting your wheels painted or coated?

Ive used the carplan spray cans from my local motor factors and the star silver stuff is pretty good. Can actually see the flakes coming out when you spray it.

Always thought the Kei Hyper Black was hard to beat for a silve wheel color:

Not a lot of flake to it, but seems to pearl from dark grey to almost chrome.

Looks great and takes quite a bit of dirt before the shine starts to vanish.

The Star Silver shade of my Vectra has a nice amount of flake to it when polished up. Comes up well, will probably use it to redo my wheels anyway.
