So due to some idiot driving into me one morning i now have some cosmetic damage to one of my alloys (looked like its been kerbed)

As a result of this it now needs refurbished, the wife thinks it's worth changing the color while im at it. :clap:

ive had a quote from my dealer of £240 for all four wheels and i can pick ANY color i want.

im happy with the quote but cant decide on a color, im thinking matt black but i thought i would ask the collective opinion of the forum.

so ladies and gents any ideas ???

Really blacks your only option barring a different tone of silver,but i wouldnt do matt black, high gloss black would look classy, matt black wheels looks uncared for even when clean.

How about a dark pearl colour that shines diferently depending on the light?

So most of the time it looks gloss black but when the sun hits it, it shines golds or greens etc

a friend has suggested stain black ? :eusa-think: on another note im pricing up an alcantra handbrake gaiter as well to go with the gear stick gaiter as i dot think its been done before.

anthracite does look good though, im looking to make her mine in a way no one else will have :dance:

I have the same Nera Black car and wheels as you and have just had my wheels painted Gloss Black. I think it looks very classy and a little stealth.

Unfortunately it dark and I have done a couple of hundred miles in the last couple of days so it's covered in sh*te at the moment so can't het a pic for you. But there are plenty more on here the same :thumbup:

I've not seen one with Gold wheels which might be interesting :eusa-think:

Unless you are willing to clean your tyre walls on a regular basis I would suggest sticking with what you have
Tyres can look dowdy sandwiched in between the black of the bodywork and the wheel - even after only a short drive. There are products that mitigate this though, I think I saw another thread somewhere...

Since you have silver arches I think black alloys may look too dark. Silver will match nicely and make the car look more expensive. I think why not pick some fancy silver alloys... they will at least look different from the standard Peugeot ones and make ur car look sparkly.
