Dark grey (similar to Disco 1/ 50th) or silver. Black is too heavy on a green in my opinion

I like black on green as that's what I have, however for the alloys to look right, the tyres need to be dressed with tyre dressing so they are as black as the wheels.

100% my thinking about the tyre dressing... or matte black wheels don't look so bad without tyre dressing, and even better with it.

What green?

Anthracite is my favourite colour. Or Limestone with Keswick. James

I always think black wheels look like they've been painted at home in a shed with a brush...
