Would love to have black wheels but think white would suite better? Gonna have a practice on the spare, just want some opinions.

I have the same colour and I find high power silver and chromes works well. They don't look much but when the sun hits them they realy shine

I'm redoing mine in white when i get the time. My cars flame red so it should go well.
One piece of advice, My wheels were refurbs when i bought them and now the rust is coming thru the paint, hence, i have to redo them. So make sure u do some rust proofing if u sand them down to bare metal. I'm coating mine in white hammerite first.

I personally wouldn't paint a factory wheel. Might look a little tasteless.

Where you buy your paint from? I got the Satin Red ones from Halfrods, but there pearl and I think its metallic on the car. Can't explain why mine look wrong, they seem to have gotten worse since I done them. I might do them again with the wing mirrors.

your best bet with gsi wheels is an anthracite colour, not quite black, but more a dark grey
