   im not sure if it makes the car look dirty, but what if the wheels were Black?
   
   Also,
   
   my wheels are wrecked and need 2x tyres.
   
   should i swap my wheels and 170 quid
   
   for some mint satin black S wheels with 2 BRAND (Eagle F1) new tyres 2 x tyres which have 6mm + tread but are mismatching?
   
   P.S I gotta drive 100 miles there and back for them.

   Noo that's WAY to much... i bought my full set of mint vts rims and basically new tyres for £120!
   
   Your better off buying two new tyres (www.blackcircles.co.uk) and painting them up yourself....
   
   If it was my car.. i would spray them as dark grey as i could, but using a paint that had a metallic flake in it, so they still looked shiny

    i think they look good but everyone has dark vts alloys on silver saxos now, here is some i once did anthracite:
    
    
    
    if you do do it dont do them black coz will make ur tyres look grey.
    
    i now refirbished mine back to orrigonal look

    Did a great job there steve
    
    I am considering selling my vts rims... but i need to be able to afford other rims first... and at the moment i think im going to get my car lowered first... so it's not going to be for awhile...

    I wouldn't go black mate. Anthracite or gunmetal will look smart though.

    get pics of them but usually the gloss/satin black ones make the tyres look odd and grey so imo i wouldnt but its up to you its your motor

    yeah seem more anthracite, get a head on pic of them and do a photoshop on your car as they have left the lip silver so might look odd
