Probably 'cos i'm bored but had a quick photoshop of a wheel change colour on my Astor.

Silver...




And one of the drivers side.



And in grey??




I'm undecided. Bearing in mind ive got a set of black masks and rallye blanks to go in as well, will it look a bit too boring?Dunno

aaah, you see Kevin my old fruitbat, i got a mate of mine to do the photoshop! I've been painting a Zetec cam cover crackle red for a chum who's got a zetec 1600i trackcar.

So we all agree the grey wheels look shit?

I'd agree that grey wheels don't suit Astor. Silver wheels definately break up the 'darkness' of it. I've got some silver SL299's on the sedan at the moment and I'm really liking it.

The grey isn't the best match to Gun Metal TBHWink

Gun Metal would be almost the same colour as your Astor paintwork IMOThumbs up

The colour on your photoshop is more like Anthracite.

I think they would look okThumbs up

I like it but yeah, possibly better on silver rims.

Its like moonstone looks great with darker wheels as they contrast the light paintwork

For Astor its the other way around.

Love those rims you got Smile

My speedlines look spot on.. but i actually think your rims are not suited to the 306. Check out may calender shot

I like it. Dark wheels with black masks and rallye blanks. Then tint the windows lightly and it will be stealth and mean looking.

Me neither, though it's not so much that they don't work on a 306, it's the "negative" dish that I don't like. spokes that sit proud of the rim.The widest part of the whole wheel should be the tyre imo.

I've been struggling with what to do with my superleggeras
Their currently silver I do quite like them in silver

But thought about black with subtle purple flake to tie in with Astor,..
But I already have enough to sort without finding new things to do LOL
