   Just wondering; what colour should I paint my alloys?
   
   Here's how it currently looks as standard...
   
   
   
   I did a photoshop of them as white as I thought that would be best but then I thought I want to go for something different from the norm. :/
   
   
   
   What other colours might suit the car?
   I did think black or anthracite but they're common and think it'd be too much black on the car...

    Would be different lol
    
    Personally if it was mine they'd be going white, and colourcoding the bumpers.

    White would look great I think. The pink seems good at first, further down the line you might not be so fond of it.

    Can you not get some mixed up at a paint store near you?
    We have a place here called humberside paints and they will mix anything/any colour on demand (abit like halfords but alot better)
    
    I would love to see this done though

    But I don't have a professional spraying place near me, they'd probably supply it in pots wouldn't they? I would need it in a rattle can

    I agree but most of the rest of the car is black so think it might be a bit much!
