I have a set of alloys I need to put on my car as soon as I get the bolts for them. However they could do with a quick refurb as one of them does have a few marks that could be sanded out. But if I do this they will need a respray. Ive got no idea what colour to do them.

The car's Diablo Red and they are the Sirroco (spelling?) alloys.

Ive decided I dont want to go down the gloss black route as every boy racer going seems to be doing that. White is out the question as well, it would just look stupid. So I am at a loss, I want something suttle, that makes them stand out and not look lost like they would being gloss black. However I dont want anything rediculous like luminous green.

I will attatch a photo below for if anyone wants to attack it in PS not the best angle sorry but only one I have.

Any suggestions welcomed Smile

Thanks

my mate ages ago when we had saxos had a deep red with dark gray bumper trims, headlights, grille and wheels........ as long as its clean and shiny it looks spot on... keep it simple for maximum effect!

I know you said you didnt want to go down the black route, but personally, I'd go with black with a red band around the lip, Like this; Obviously they're different alloys, but you get the idea xD
