Default What color should I select for my refurbished Senta wheels?

Later today I will be having my stock Senta wheels refurbished. I am considering having them refinished in a darker grey as opposed to the brighter stock finish. My car is black and as a practical matter either finish will look good.

However, I would certainly appreciate your feedback!

There are websites that provide a interactive visual of your car with different wheels. You can change colors of the cars and put different wheels sizes and colors into the visual.

It fun to mess with changing car colors and wheel styles.

Here's an example with a 2007 Jaguar XK Coupe.

See Wheels on Your Vehicle - Discount Tire

Hope this makes your decision easier.

I know most don't like a gloss black wheel on a gloss black car, although I do. That being said I agree the Sentas are to bright stock.

I vote for a nice Anthracite Satin Grey (neither matte nor glossy and sure to camouflage brake dust.)

Here's an idea:

I agree, the factory finish is too bright. I really like the idea of an anthracite finish. camouflaging the brake dust is an added bonus.

I vote for gloss black because as soon as they get dirty with brake dust they look matte pretty quick and easier to clean being gloss. No I don't have gold brake rotors...this was taken right after I washed it so the rotors turned rust color temporarily. The nuts surrounding the wheel and center cap, were left natural for a bit of color.
