Never been a fan of dark wheels unless with a chrome dish - sorry!

Love the colour of the car though.

Not for me either, guess black wheels are a 'young man's' thing or as my granny would say...mutton dressed as lamb

Thumbs down
As I used to own this car i'm a bit prejudice, but after asking the whole family we are not keen. I'm sure they would have looked great in silver though, Sorry

I have to agree with the others sorry im not a fan of black wheels tbh and i dont think it suits a light car to have black wheels. I think the executive over all look of the car has been lost.
Sorry im just being honest its a lovely car though

I think that they look fine .

I have always been of the opinion that a white or silver car can look very good with dark alloys. Whilst not my favourite alloys, I do think that it suits the car and you have done a good job there.

Dark wheels can spoil a dark car unless it is a very nice metalic. Silver/Chrome is essential on a dark car, especially if you can be bothered to clean them and polish them up makes them pop!
