The clean spot look like light rubbing, from the OZ's or the new wheels.
Btw, these would be my colour of choice, "Gun Metal Matte", not to dark not to light.

Yeah that's correct. I don't worry about the little rub marks as the thicker parts look to be untouched. Probably only rubs very lightly in extreme conditions and I think the O.Z.'s are the main cause.
The gunmetal looks great. Friend of mine has matte gunmetal MSW wheels (by O.Z.) on his Fiesta and they look awesome.

Still happy with those Conti Premium Contact 6, how is the noise production. ??
They are 72 dB tires.

Yeah I'm still very happy. They are comfy and also roll realy nice. Also the feel in the steering wheel is very nice.
They are a bit noisy(more then the 16" wheels and tires I had before)but that is to be expected, the lower the tire the higher the noise.
But I always have the stereo on pretty loud so I don't realy notice most of the time

Well I've always been playing everything loud so I guess it's not an age thing
How are your new wheels coming along?

Working on it.
Still undecided about the colour.
Should be dark red, but not convinced about it.

I never understood why you didn't like the dark grey wheels on your silver Panda but it's all a matter of personal preference and taste so no use debating about that.
I'm not crazy about red wheels on silver cars personally.
I do like gold, light blue, white and gun metal grey on silver cars bjt it also depends on the wheel style. If I had a silver Panda though I would go with the light blue Tec As2 wheels and never look back. These wheels ride so nice with the Novitec springs, I just love it.
I wonder what you will end up with but I do hope to see it before some dreadfull winter wheels will be fitted again...

I don’t like Fifty Shades of Grey on a silver car, in my case they should be matte black or silver like the car’ also the dark grey made the wheels look small.
So, i could mount the silver wheels as they are or Powder coat them matte black.
The idea of dark red wheels comes from the red from the interior.
Winter wheels are also under consideration, could move to 15” LM or move to 16”.

Yeah after a quick search I see that the Novitec springs are hard to find nowadays.
Probably sold all of them(they had them made by Eibach to there own spec if I am right).
I would go with the H&R 30mm lowering springs I guess. I have read more then one pleased owner about these ones. Don't know the Vogtlands.
I would always go with something that is Tüv aproved in Germany so you know it won't make the car worse.

I would just go silver like the car as they are. Matte black wheels are virtualy invisible and I never liked that look on any car. It will make it look meaner but the wheels themselves get lost visually.
I'm not convinced about wheel choices, so i will sell everything except for the wheels that are on the car now.
When winter comes i will put new winter tires on these 16" wheels.
Next year, i will decide what then.
Btw, you can clearly see what a black wheel does.

Black wheel means no wheel.
These greenish wheels should look perfect on your grey panda with the 3cm stance you have.
Also, been away for some days was noticeable. I didn’t have nothing to read here. It’s good you are back.
Wait for more of your panda.
