GR86 Colour change for wheels

[YORKSHIRE LAD]

So, I've ordered an Ignition Red one but I have never been a fan of black wheels so I was wondering if anyone on here has gone for a colour change and, if so, what colour have you chosen. I'm not sure if silver would work or not but can't decide what to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've got a silver car and have no plans to change the wheels - so I should perhaps mind my own business - but I do think red with bronze looks splendid as per @Wrobz 's car.

I was never a fan of Black Wheels, but I have Satin Black Wheels on my 718 and although I wouldn't have chosen them they have grown on me, one way to make them look better is to ensure the tyres are cleaned and treated regularly, you still lose the design from a distance but they look ok (Gloss Black would be better than Satin imo).

My Red Leon FR has very dark Silver Alloys and mirrors and that looks great. The 2023 BRZ has a very similar colour, which i really like.

I think Silver is the best colour with Black Wheels

With the Blue I'll be going for a gold or bronze if I can.

Not gonna argue!

I'm no fan of black alloys either. I'm thinking something like this :

or this (Satin Gunmetal)

Fan of Satin Neodyme if you’re looking for something gold/bronze in colour.

This is exactly what i want. Yellow calipers and bronze wheels. I think it will look great on the Magnetite Grey

Thanks for the endorsement @Silver Fox , I am actually considering a lighter shade (more pale gold like the Porsche wheels).

In anything but direct sunlight my shade of bronze does still look quite dark…

…or even darker on a “real world photo” with normal dirt and brake dust!

After deciding I really didn't like the black wheels just picked mine up from a wheel & brake caliper colour change, I'm really pleased I think it looks great so much better than the dull black, but let me know what you think..

 

[MR2rob]

IMO so much better, good choice

Silver’s always a good choice imo.

Looks great. Definitely prefer to black.

What was the cost and did they spray them or powder coat?

So do I

 

[Salko_GR]

C’mon people white with black wheels is the best combo.

White 86 with Black does look flipping good

 

[OPC100]

I think that silver wheels look good with both blues, black and grey cars. Black wheels look good with the other colours. Only thing I'd be thinking if I changed the wheel colour is would I then want to change the wing mirrors too. I like bronze wheels.

Thanks, they have been sprayed but the wheels were acid dipped to remove the original paint first, wheels cost just under £500 & are refinished in shadow chrome rather than plain silver which would have been a bit cheaper
