White looks nasty, anthracite looks cool, but never wash them and get it for free. I was going to go for 'em, but if they ever get kerbed again really show it up, and getting centre caps of the right colour is an extreme pain. I went to silver again, and do look nice when sparkly.

I agree.... 10.gif

I aint gonna ruin the car just because they get dirty with brake dust... thats life.... same as i'm not gonna repaint the car a different colour so that the stone chipping will be less noticable... stickpoke.gif

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand - strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO -What a Ride!:D

I thought they looked ok. Not nasty or anything.

I had white wheels on my Cooper S and that was Indi blue (similar to imperial blue) and they looked mint. A bitch to keep clean though.

White on the FRP looks great - really emphasises the Rally look
