Help with choosing colour for wheel refurb

Hi all, I have purchased a set of 19s for my winter tyres but they need a refurb before they go on the car. The car is Stornaway grey. Which colour should I go for?

sorry i don't have any pic's but i had some refurbs done and went for a gun metal grey. This colour should suit yours. Spit and polish is the company and turn around time is three days. About £350 for 4 wheels.

I voted for Gun metal as I think they would look great on some winter wheels. Probably the colour I'll do mine when i track a set down.

Re getting the work done, not sure where you're based exactly, and I've not used them myself, but I've heard fantastic things about Lepsons in Kent,
KDS use them for all their refurb work and their standards are very high. ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Nice, but a bit too bling for me.. Besides.. It would probably scare the pheasants away when were shooting!

I'm pretty much decided in the gun metal on the basis that although I have car cleaning OCD, the wheels will not look as dirty with all the muck on our wet country lanes.

Any more votes are very welcome and feel free to comment on your choice and why!

Cheers,
J

You list standard silver and say shadow chrome will scare the pheasants Shadow chromes not as silver as standard silver,

I think they would suit the Stornaway grey really well, if not then gloss black

I was joking about the pheasants

but shaddow chrome is a more reflective/mirror type finish which i'm not really keen on.
