My thought is don't Confused Apart from the fact that every man and his dog have black wheels these days, you'll completely loose the detail. If you want a change, how about anthracite? Darren

I think the SVX wheels only suit the original colour.

Keep the wheel’s original and buy another set of your choice. Or sell the SVX wheels and they’ll fund new wheels. 2008 2.4 110 Utility Station Wagon XS.

Black is my least favourite colour for a wheel. It just turns the whole area into an ugly black hole where you can’t see any of the design of the wheel. Matt is even worse because it makes what you can still see look looks it’s coated in brake dust. If you want dark, a metallic gun metal or something would be my choice. Just my opinion, these things are subjective. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Good decision. I'm thinking of the same wheels for mine
Where did you get the wheels from?

I ordered them from LR centre ltd. They were great and happily shipped them to a local tyre shop for me. They often have some discount codes available too. Go for the 18’s ☺️
