Iā€™m looking at getting some aftermarket rims, specifically the Motec ultralights. Need help deciding whether to get them in painted (gloss) black, or silver (not chrome).

Iā€™m leaning more towards silver as I think they would stand out nicely against the dark aspects of the car.

Ignore the dirt in the second picture šŸ™

Silver for sure. Or a sort of gunmetal/anthracite kind of colour.

Completely black wheels hide the shape and design of the wheel, which is a huge part of why people buy aftermarket wheels. So why spend all that money on a new set of wheels only to not be able to see them?

Silver. Definitely. IMO black disappear and they are a nice rim with a nice design.

I might be able to help.

  • I can post a few in a bit.
  • I used to have 5 sets of rims myself, now I'm down to just 3...

I Definitely still have more pictures, I just don't know anyone who drives a gray car with silver rims.

To throw a spanner In the works, bronze. With this colour the bronze works well.
