Talk to me people....... am thinking of going black

Want to change these 21 inch to Matt black.
Has anyone taken the plunge?

I'm possibly in the minority on this particular subject, but I don't personally think that black wheels improve the look of a black car that much. I can see the reason why you'd do it, and I certainly wouldn't say it looks worse... if the car itself was red or yellow (i.e. colours that don't work that well with standard "silver" alloy wheels) then I'd say yes without reservation.

For me, price would be a deciding factor here. How much are you being quoted?

Same wheels as me. Look better silver imo. Are you certain they're 21''?

Australia 2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Bonatti Grey

The 21" wheels look exactly the same as the 20" wheels that I put on 'The Loud One' RRS 4.2 S/C.

They are Std off a 2015/6 model here in Australia and look the same as the ones on HMX's RRS.

There is something about the finish that makes them hard to Powder Coat according to my sources but you can get the same wheel pattern in Black down here. 2006 4.2 S/C with Tow Pack, Side Steps, DRL's, 19" & 20" wheels, additional 110 ltr Fuel Tank Roof Rack and performance mods.

1952 Rover 75 (Cyclops) First Car !!! Fond memories -was restored-good for 93mph.

Yellow brake calipers will also look nice but get them done properly
