I would suggest a much lighter colour than they are now. I've just bought the same colour caddy and was going to fit some pale blue alloys and add pale blue sign writing to advertise my business but I think I'm gonna respray the van a different colour.

Are you going to paint the wheels yourself? I do vehicle cosmetic repairs such as wheel refurbs, bumper scuffs, windscreen chips etc based in Bridgend :mrgreen:

Silver, or a version of. Black or even anthracite looks wrong on such a dark body colour in my opinion, there needs to be more contrast.

On average about £45 per wheel but usually more for a colour change or if I have to paint the backs of the wheels. Give me call 07952 942 943 and I'll do you a deal.
