Well,

Beans, I like the economy of your suggestion. £0.00 [:)]

Zoe, is there anything that you won't try to Tritonise? [:0]

Hi,
BMW Carbon Black, same as my Revolutions, very dark blue that appear black in certain light.
The only thing with these wheels is they are for a front wheel drive car so offset will be different, but for the money a bargain!!
Cheers John

Well, according to responses;

1st - Black - various finishes
2nd - Silver / Grey / Gunmetal
Equal 3rd - Yellow, Triton (No surprise who voted for that), Yellow, Orange, Pink, Gold and White.

It turns out they're 6J wheels (not 5 1/2 as I expected) The tyres are half worn Toyo T1-R 195/50/15V which have received mixed reviews across the net. Once I get the 7V8 through its MOT I'll put these wheels on and see how they handle. If they don't need rebalancing I might just leave them in 1980's white (as per Beans) for a track day or two next year and refinish them in black or silver afterwards.


Thanks for input.


Adam
