Default My Winter Wheels

Just got my spare set of FE wheels back from the refurbishers (AWR in Bury).

I thought I'd try something a little different this time. Since these are going to be my winter wheels, I decided to go a little darker -- nothing too dark, just something that would show the road salt and dirt less.

I asked for something like a light pewter/anthracite and, preferably, black on the inside, if possible. They weren't too sure if they could do it, so I think this was somewhat experimental, but I'm really pleased with the result.

The photos don't really do them justice -- in the right light they have a black/silver lead-like appearance that I think works well ...

What y'all think?


And, what would be a good winter tyre to put on these (standard 255/35 R20 FE) wheels?
