2014 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 SW Keswick Green

Which black with Keswick green..

So, I've got a Keswick green 110 Puma Station Wagon.

It's on a set of Kahn 18's, which I quite like the style of the wheel, but hate the fact that they're diamond cut.
Like these:

So I'm going to refurbish them in black. I've seen plenty of pics of the satin (or maybe even Matt) black finish that you can buy them in, which look pretty good. athlete are a few pics around of them finished in silver (which I really don't like).

Anyone out there got, or have pictures of, the Kahn 1983 rim in a gloss black- on a defender?

Even better, a pic of some on a Keswick car!

I believe the twisted wheels are always satin black rather than gloss and their cars tend to look good on the whole. It just makes me wary that gloss might not look 'right'

I've seen a fair few Keswick cars on gloss black sawtooths, and they look pretty good.

Cheers all.

Can't help with pics I'm afraid, but I'd strongly consider anthracite rather than black. It is entirely personal choice, of course, I just think black wheels tend to 'disappear'. Darren

Thanks Anorak, I must admit, I'd not considered anything other than black.

Apart from OE steels and boosts (in white and silver respectively), I've not seem many other colour wheels on Keswick. I'll go hunting for some pictures to see.

Roof colour is an interesting point, it's currently white, but I'm starting to think that if I put gloss black wheels on, and will then likely freshen up the grille and light surrounds in black, I'm wondering if the white roof will start to look out of place.

I quite like this one, roof & all in green, but I'm not convinced the Kahn rims will work as well in green.

The twisted one looks a little light for Keswick Green, it may be the light though

Yeah, I think it's the light. It's definitely Keswick.

That one looks good, although I think the arches are a bit too much for me.
They're currently rubber on mine, but will go green for sure when I get round to it. Black roof could definitely work though

I'll give you another choice.
When we ordered our Keswick Defender 90, we specified an Indus Silver roof, which we thought would complement the alloy (machined silver) wheels, which it did, and it looked very smart indeed.
It was a special order & the LandRover Dealer was very impressed when they saw it in the flesh.
So then you've got a silver roof & silver wheels to set each other off.
