jonof Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Guys I'm new to this forum, so, firstly, 'greetings'! I'm considering a 2008 110 xs in Glaway green, although I really wanted a black one. I've got a set of new 5 spoke black preditor wheels, in 17", which I can transfer onto the new defender if I wish. trouble is, I know that the black wheels look ace on the black defender, what's the general opinion with what they'll look like on the green!? thanks Jono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 you could always have the wheels refinished to match the 110's body colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yostumpy Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 black look good with white as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Black wheels look dreadful, full stop. See the photo above ^^^^^^^ Sorry Mr. Yostumpy Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I've never seen the attraction of black wheels either to be honest. Good old fashioned steels, or if you must have alloys then silver ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I'm running black predators on my belize green Defender, and really like to look. Tried white steels before, hated them and sprayed them black: much better! B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Black wheels only look ok on a hearse or a trailer IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j999dpt Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 i think black wheels look good on a lot of motors but like you ay it has to go with the body colour, why not rest 2 up against the standard wheels and see what you think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike4444244 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 FWIW in my opinion black looks much better, but they have to be satin not gloss or matt [/Chav mode] Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
