Myh favorite color! But blacked out indicators is too 80s, go to whites. Silver grille looks better IMO. Those wheels look great in silver.

I would say keep in Silver for this body color! They will look small in black IMO.

Cheers.

Good job oxblood8!

As Simon said, for that colour I'd keep them silver, or as FSETH said (and I would do the same if I had the spare reddies!) get the 4.8 wheels. Black wheels with that body colour is just wrong in my humble opinion..

I agree with everyone else.... silver wheels, white indicators.
