Opinions - Black or silver steel wheels?
Going to get my tyres off and then the steel wheels powder coated. Keeping the chrome hubcaps but still in-decided on the wheel colour...
Thoughts anyone?

Re: Opinions - Black or silver steel wheels?
personally I prefer silver, black make the rims look smaller than they are

Steels should match the colour of the body.
As should a pocket square handkerchief worn with a suit …... match the shirt you are wearing.
Personal choice but I like the wheels matching body colour.

Black. If they DO chip they're a darned sight easier to touch up. That said, its down to what you think looks right - nobody else.

Re: Opinions - Black or silver steel wheels?
I like black - because it reminds me of my first T25 "the one that got away", which came with the wheels painted a scruffy black. Nostalgia is a powerful thing!
