Flat black: for the stealth / track look - matches laguna splitter / mudflaps / tinted lights etc but maybe a bit to black on black on black and the wheel details get lost / overlooked if you get what i mean.

Gold is just wrong...the bronze used on Rotas etc is cool, but gold is for scoobys...and it looks pants on those :lol:

In all honesty I would choose neither. Gun metal Grey or white or even bronze

^This.

Gun metal grey, Bronze or Black for me. Not too keen on white wheels (the wheels have to be right for it to work in my opinion), defiantly no to gold wheels though (only good on scoobies and even then they're not great).

Gun metal is what I have now and I''d be happy going for that again as it goes well but the problem is finding them in the UK in my size, japshop seems to be the uk /euro supplier and gold or flat black is all I can have! :?

on some of the us sites though I can get any colour! but import tax... :evil:

Although coming around to the idea of the flat black, i think chromium black is similar to gunmetal so I can ask if they can get some in but flat black on black does look mean. :shock:

think these are 530's same idea

and it does a good job of hiding the multi fitment ;)

I'd go with black but only cos you didn't have an off black as black makes the tyres look brown. No matter how new or what suff you put on them

I manned up, made a decision and went for the flat black in the end to complete the batmobile look

out of stock, 4 weeks from americas. (about 2 or 3 to go now)
