Styling What colour wheels?
This is a topical question for me. The Abarth wheels were matt black on my Sei when I got it and intended to respray them this colour after I refurb them. What's making me rethink this colour is that I noticed the grey primer I'm using on other bits of the car looks really good against the yellow, so I am now thinking that this might also be a good choice. If you, or someone you know, is decent with Photoshop, they might be able to mock up a photo of your car with different colours to at least give some idea.

I agree with Jamie actually
if you look at the colour of FIAT Coupe LE wheels which are a grey-shade and quite tasty; it'll nail it for you! If you do a google search for those, you'll see what I mean.
Are those Lancia wheels Dac69er..??

they are indeed. got them silly cheap from an uno turbo owner. they are decent condition other than the corrosion on the polished face.
just need to paint them up and stick tires on.

good to know they'll fit!

Thanks. Not perfect, but not too bad for a rattle can job. Really happy with the colour.
Will order some tires, new centre caps and get the spacers sorted then I can finally fit the damn things!!!
Those look fabulous. Can't wait to see them on your car.

I think there's a general rule of aesthetics with wheels and colours of cars.
If you have a dark coloured car, bright wheels look good, and if you have a bright coloured car; dark wheels work.
You've managed an interesting subtle twist with this shade.
It's often the case; that silver cars 'subtract' the wheels from their appearance; and that red cars subtract their rear light clusters from their appearance too.
Certain features, and body colours contextualise each other, depending on colour.
This is a great result.
