It isnt a good pic, but they are currently a gunmetal grey center with silver rims. Would really like to get the rims diamond cut as they were originally and think that would look good with darker centres and black pack. Have seen pics of a baltic car with black grille/vents etc and it looks fab so i can see that being on the cards eventually
Like you say Ron, may play safe for the time being and just get them done in all silver or possibly a mix of silver rims with stornaway/corris grey centers?? Hmmmmm Decision, decisions!!Previous Discos

More goodies fitted today. Set of rubber mats thanks to Redjelly5000. Also fitted a full set of mudflaps and the all important disco4.com sticker
I have also had a quote to refurb my splitrims . Done the same as these bentley rims with chrome powdercoat rims and grey spokes. Not cheap at £150 per wheel but look smart

Think as Ron said earlier in the thread, it will look better with more black pack bits Previous Discos

for me its dark wheels on a light coloured car, silver on a dark coloured car, but not dark wheels on a dark car.
Its why I think my silver stormers looked better on my old D3 in Blue than they do on my D4 in Sand.

Was reminded today of why i bought another D4 8) . I had to deliver a customers car that i have rebuilt and decided to take it on the trailer. I have towed with many different vehicles in the past but the D3/4 must be the best of the best
