As for wheels, imo i would look for anything with 7 spokes or more and that preferably would be in anthracite to match the stripes, obv you could just get silver ones and get them sprayed thogh.

Re: wheels

The side rubbing strips dont protect against hardly anything, also looks bad with stripes.
also i personally think multispokes suit the gp nicely

Re: wheels

Silver is a safer bet imo, but anthracite got look pretty good and I am guessing they will be a bit more expensive.

Also, anthrcite wheels rarely look dirty! The colour seems to hide brake dust very well. This could be a bonus if the wheels are multispoke and a pain in the ass to clean.

Agree with that, its a major bonus of anthracite wheels. Plus dark coloured wheels go with silver and grey coloured cars very well. Go anthracite, do it, do it now.
