You can always get them sprayed silver again if it looks rubbish. I say go for it but maybe satin black rather than gloss black.

Matt black much better than gloss...dunno how they would look after a few thousand miles tho.

Go Anthracite! Not the same wheels I know but you get the idea! Black wheels look great but sometimes you can't tell what the are from a distance and they make the car look really dark.

they look ok... but i still think the standard wheels look better...

also prefer the matt black to the anthracite....

you could go Bok style.... and have the wing mirrors done too... maybe the door handles to match...

They look surprisingly good in black!

Mind you, I never did like the original FRP wheels

Had mine done matt black and I've never looked black!

I felt the originals were silver just because wheels are, well, silver.

It's a competition car so black, white etc. is more in keeping than road car silver.

No problems after two years, but don't expect them to look like new forever.
