Best wheel colour for a Black XKR
Hi all,
a couple of my Nevis alloys need a refurb due to curb rash. I'm thinking of a change from metallic aluminium and wanted to know what others have done or like. I'm thinking light graphite satin with the Supercharged type in gloss black.
The car doesn't have the black pack so I'm concerned black alloys wouldn't go well with black bodywork and chrome trim.
Thanks

Colour choice is very personal. You do what you like best. To my eyes, the darker colours and white benefit from from the standard chrome highlights so I would keep the wheels silver as well. Black seems to go really well with reds, yellows, orange, etc. However, in general, I have a problem with dark wheels because from any distance they disappear and look like holes under the car. Not my thing.

Thanks all for your messages, and amazing photos. I must say the silver Nevis wheels (as standard) look amazing and contrast so well with the gloss black. Black on black makes the car look a bit "gangsta" in my opinion.

I've gone through a stack of black xkr pics and have come to the conclusion that the wheels need to be the same colour as the window surround that is black on black looks fantastic only if your window trim is black otherwise aluminium is definitely the go ...just my 2 cents ))

Gorgeous. The silver wheels and trim balance the dark body colour and the overall package is far more elegant than the trendy “all black” alternative. On the other hand, if you want wheels that look like they have never been cleaned of brake dust, well, black would be the choice. Not my choice.
