I have just bought some 15" Cav GSi wheels to go on my Arden blue 1.6 Sport.

The wheels need sanding down and painting which I am going to do. I can't decide which would look best, gloss black or silver?

Cheers

what's wrong with asking peoples opinions?

I want to do them gloss black, but just thought I'd see what people thoughts were.

Those tyres - not a chance!

Either fit the 195/50/15 from the ripspeed wheels, or buy a set of 195/45/15 tyres for them

Cheers, the tyres on them at the mo are 205/50/15 Nankangs so will be binning them sharpish

Will look for some decent 195/45/15s to go on them. And I'll spray them black

Anthracite, to match the plastic trims.
Nice and subtle.

Could do gloss black, but as you see from that pic above the trims are painted gloss black thats why it works well.

Go for what you want mate
