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?

personally I prefer silver, black make the rims look smaller than they are

Silver all the way

Black looks scruffy imho

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.



Matt - brighton

Cheers guys, thats the side I was edging to

Scruffy, bloody scruffy!

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.

I always carry a black Sharpie in the glovebox.

Ah, but them's fancy alloys

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!

My wife has banned me from painting our current camper blue like that old panel van
