Stornoway is Bonatti with the brown fleck removed......... Corris is Stornoway with a tinge of black fleck, I very happy with my Corris RRS2. Like the Stornoway TDv8 and the Stornoway FFRR TDv8 I ran it doesn't show road dirt much until it is really dirty, but take it offroading on a dry dusty day.................... it shows every tiny spec of dust!

I always have black cars but when buying the RRS I decided on a Bonatti Grey and it's great, it doesn't show anywhere near as much road dirt as any of my black cars 2016 Black SDV8 Autobiography
2013 Grey Black Edition SDV6 (lasted a while but gone now)
2005 Grey Supercharged Sport (gone but never forgotten)

As Tim said, Stornoway is pretty much colour coded from factory.

I have grey/graphite wheels on my Stornaway. Looks great and a bit different. For me, no need to colour code 2010 TDV8

Grey is a fantastic colour for a RRS.

In fact the L494 I am just waiting for is Carpathian Grey. I was very tempted to go black again but think that the grey makes a RRS look shark like......

I honestly feel the majority of colours that the RRS are painted look good, but for me Stornaway when clean looks classy.

But then I would say that

Totally agree

That "Wire strike protection system" does not seems very strong  '08 RRS TDV8
I converted my diesel RRS to run on an environmentally friendly mixture of caribou fat and baby seals oil

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

What are folks thoughts on black wheels with a grey RRS?

Jim

thanks for all the suggestions -

My search for a RRS continues.....

Stornaway grey and black looks fantastic in my opinion, but I am biased. This is mine..,,,

I don't usually like black wheels as feel you can't see them half the time, but I really like that. Might get thinking about it...... 2010 TDV8

I don't like black wheels because it makes the wheels appear invisible causing the car to look out of balance. I think black wheels may only work with light paint (white, silver, yellow), or perhaps on a black car as an all-black "you ain't seen me, right?" thing. Or perhaps with white wall tyres! L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso
RRS TDV6 HSE Lux (MY2011)... Nara Bronze / Arabica - now gone!

Here you go, finally got them done.

I'm about to do my original set in Graphite metallic this weekend.

I've just sorted out the kerbing and scuffs and if I get time over the weekend I'll do it.

I'll post pictures when I get time.
