GR86 Colour change for wheels

Not sure that all wheels are powder coated, I have used the same company before with no issues, time will tell but any issues I have a 4 year guarantee

That's a lovely finish. What's it called?
Bough a set from eBay, from a chap that put different wheels on his car, and was selling the originals.
too good an opportunity to pass by
So now have a spare set.

Shadow Crome.
looks fantastic in the right light as the shadow shows best on the rims. Will try and show tomorrow when they are actually on the car.
Why is it, that one gets so excited about a set of wheels
Can I ask how much you paid (with or without tyres)?
They look fantastic...Shadow Crome.

I am the same I have a 'spare' set for the MR2 and an unused SEAT BBS set of 18s for the Leon

I can see some photoshop requests coming up to see what your wheels would look like on Red/blue/black cars

On the subject of wheel colour changes - how feasible is it to change the colour of the mirrors to match?
Is this straightforward? Is this even a thing? Or should I again consider switching off the internet before I do any more harm?
(Reason I ask is that I don't love the standard wheel colour, but I do like how they sort of match the mirrors and how this looks especially on my silver and on the white cars, but I really like this shadow chrome that @Nigel L has here...)

I'm not going to change the wheel colour, but if I was, I'd get the mirrors colour coded to match the car colour, then get the wheels done in bronze, or perhaps an anthracite type colour?

Don’t love the style, but I quite like the colour. Goes well with the black accents on the car.
Does anyone?
What colour car have you got/ordered?
