Also have a search for 'black chrome' wheels. They're powder coated silver to begin with, then dusted with black afterwards.

Looks about right. Mine are a bit darker and a bit less satin (ceramic coat makes them a little less matt) but it isn't too important to get an exact shade, just ease off a bit from jet black and shiny.
Just my opinion of course.

Reading this has made me do something at long last 😁

Just been to the wheel refurbishers. They're going to do my wheels in anthracite gloss. He suggested doing the insides of the spokes a smidgen darker than the faces, which will highlight the angles and cut outs of my tornado wheels. Takes 2 to 3 days and is Β£80 per wheel.

I'll post pictures when it's done, if you can wait until 6th August.

Refurb man said these colours were the most popular colour change at the moment. He preferred satin, whereas I can't resist having something shiny :D

Yes Hotlurve and I are joining your grey wheel clique. Apparently very fashionable at the moment......................the wheels rather than the driver πŸ˜†

Had my last cars wheels done satin and found them hard work to clean, went for gloss this time, much easier to look after.

Mine are gloss Black. That way when I bought the car. I've been thinking about getting them done grey or shadowchrome soon.
