I voted my top 3 out of the 5, which were: Black, White & Two Tone.

Theres nothing wrong with silver alloys but since you usually spend a lot of money on a set of wheels, why not make them different? get more for your money? I think black alloys look good on cars that have black trimmings/bumpers and also if the cars color is a light one.

i.e. Black alloys on a bright yellow car would look nice.

Two-Tone is perfect for the car thats looks stupid with just silver or black. You don't see many two toned alloys around at the moment but I like the way some cars can pull it off.

Same goes for white, I reckon white alloys look absolutely stunning with black cars, blue cars of my favorite: Dark Red cars. As for color coded alloys, Ive seen them around but 75% of the time, its over-done. You see a nice car in say... orange but its been fully color coded (trimmings, bumpers, mirrors) and then to top it all off, it has orange alloys. To be honest, its just a little bit too much and an eyesore.

I think it depends on the car the wheels are being fitted to and the style of the wheels.

Hansi is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Re: Alloy Wheels

My favorite are black or two tone Black and chrome. The only problem for me is that the car I'm looking at now is at a 13" 4 hole rims but I would like 15" two tone black and chrome for it but it's really hard to find the right size and number of holes
