Me too!
I was also thinking of a similar colour. Only thing is I have the silver wing mirrors...and I fear that might clash with anything but silver wheels.

I agree, I think they would look a bit out of place on their own. A lot of the r design cars with those mirrors also have silver roof rails at least so that compliments them. But you never know, things usually look better in reality than you might imagine.

I think darker wheels look good on the right coloured car.
I am going for black or a very dark anthracite when I upgrade my wheels, that is the advantage of bright red V50, they look spot on with dark wheels. |

Another pic, this is the kind of step up I want to do with my S40 with a different set of deep dish wheels.

I used to have 18" Black wheels on my black S40 and loved them lovely offset that brought the wheel right to the edge of the wing, just a shame they were buckled to F**k and I had to return them...

Most probably I will stick with my 18" Medusa wheels, respray them in Gunmetal Grey, then lower it with 35mm H&R Springs. If I do come across a set of 19"s for cheap, then I will grab them. |

I've got powder coated Zaurek OEM wheels in titanium at the minute, to be honest I live in glasgow and work in bishopbriggs and the roads in glasgow are appauling and especially on my way to work so I'll not be lowering it. I don't really throw it about alot so wouldn't really get the benefit of the lowering.
The last time I lowered one of my cars (funnily enough on H&R springs) I sold it 8 weeks later as just found it too harsh for every day use (getting old now LOL), I do keep an eye out for a nice set of 18's but not seen any I fancy yet. |
