   Getting my rims refurbed and painted but im not sure on colour...
   
   im pushing more towards gloss white now than black but really cant make up my mind..
   
   Which look best in your opinion ? Or are there any other colours in which would look well.
   
   It will be my vtr rims which are getting refurbed on a black phase 2 saxo vtr...

   Gloss white does look good with a black saxo. But also black wheels on a black sax looks really stealthy imo, looks the dogs. Hard choice.
   
   Could maybe do arthacrite? (sp)

   i originally thought anthracite but then thought gloss white or black would look better, white stand out and black be stealth...
   
   but just wondered if anyone had any recomendations between those 2 or if there is another colour in which would set black off..
   
   for instance saxo180's orange saxo looks the nuts!!!!
   
   but dont want to copy the lad as its so individual...

   gloss black rims make cars tyres look really dirty imo, then it makes the rest of the car dirty!
   
   White is nice but a bitch to keep clean... i was gunna go white but i think im slowly edging to gun metal tbh...
   
   Get sky blue and do ur badges to match

   Yeah agree with ya there, white or black would look better.
   
   You should get some photoshops done of a load of colours to see what you like. Imo though if your gona go for a colour which is a bit more out there, like blue, you need to carry on the colour with other bits of the car, like do the badges same colour etc.
   
   Could be pretty unique though.

    White with the stripes in the spokes black (what ever colour)
    White with either 'Saxo' or the Citroen chevrons in the centre in black (what ever colour)
    
    or vise versa.
    
    i was going to get blue pin stripes down the spokes...its different

    U have quite a choice with black, loads of colours go well as they contrast.
    
    Personally I would have something bright and bold to stand out, but hey, that's just me!

    currently my back badges are black but the citroen chevrons are still silver at the front and painting them to match whatever colour is no biggy really...
