Just doing a poll to see which wheel color (Felgensilber Metallic silver or Anthracite grey) most people prefer with a Platinum silver Carrera.

How about choice "A(1)

I'm just fooling around.

I actually prefer the classic silver wheels on the silver car.

RANDY P 09-26-2019 08:03 PM

I would say Grey- in person the detail will make it look much better. Silver wheels just look so 'standard issue'.

Steve Carlton 09-27-2019 12:12 AM

They both look good, but the silver is crisper.

RANDY P 09-27-2019 06:33 AM

Lowering is a MUST.

Both wheels in the poll look great, but this version is a notch better, IMHO.

Sooner or later 09-27-2019 07:52 AM

I will go with the herr option.

There is a reason silver wheels are standard issue, most of the time they are one of the best options.

I do favor polished barrel and black spoke on a lot of cars.

Contrast, and the detail of the wheel to show.

Based upon the photos, I'd go for silver.

masraum 09-27-2019 11:50 AM

If you go with the dark wheel, don't ever get curb rash or it'll show really badly until you get the wheel refinished (assuming the wheels don't have polished lips).

Wow, it's almost a dead heat according to the poll with 17 for the silver and 15 for the grey... When I initially bought the car last week, I was virtually certain that I was going change the current silver wheels and go with either black or grey, however the more I think about it the less sure I am. The silver wheels are growing on me, and I may just save the expense and keep them as is, at least for the time being. I'm attaching pics of my current wheels and a photoshoppped grey version kindly provided my maxnine11.

It's a bit of an unfair comparison since I suspect that the grey (or black) wheels would look nicer in person, than they do in photoshopped pictures.

Can you make the centres body colour for an"A(2) option

onewhippedpuppy 09-27-2019 07:28 PM

Voted gray, I like a little contrast.

Jeff Alton 09-27-2019 10:50 PM

Grey, provides some contrast to the silver car.

Bill Douglas 09-28-2019 12:49 AM

My vote is for the darker wheels and lowered by an inch.

Anything to hide the brake dust . . .
