I think on the colours that dont stand out as much black frames look much better. if it was a brighter more out there colour it would look ok in colour. I'm trying to decide on the same thing with my wagon too. ---------- Post added 15-11-11 at 20:33 ---------- are they 18's in that first pic?

i think im just going to do mine satin black?? I dont like the look of the mirrors if there painted in a glossy black (makes em look cheap cuz you can never get em right) so make sense to just do mine satin black and do the mirrors the same color too each to there own everyone has there own opinion but being a calais do em black but entirely up to you what black you choose
