Grey wheels on silver D3
Grey wheels on a silver D3. What are your thoughts.
They might be replacing the original wheels but I'm not 100% sure to go with grey or stick with the silver.Transmission flush by Geoff.

I personally like silver wheels, but grey might not be too bad. However black wheels on a silver Discovery really dont work. (IMHO) Richard

Im in the same dilemma...
Only a matter of time until the Mrs curbs one for me to take action...
I know the below are not grey but gives an idea. I would probably go gloss black to match my black pack

Silver for me too, black just looks odd.
But whatever floats your boat!

I think black wheels look great on dark blue or black cars. Just looks heavy on a silver car.Richard

Hi
Here's a couple of photos of mine.
I didn't like the black wheels so I've bought a set of 20" diamond cut alloys. I'm well happy with the result.
Now got to find a home for some 20" black alloys

Well everything went my way and I will be collecting the wheels on Tuesday. I will put some pictures up once they are on the car.
Thank you all for your input.Transmission flush by Geoff.

think they all look smart, particularly a fan of the black wheels contrasting against the silver bodywork
