Looking forward to your suggestions.

That is not a nice shade of grey tbh.... Have a look at shadow chrome/ silver chrome/black chrome along those lines.

Bert for some reason that titanium colour is impossible to get redone... so if you have ss titanium wheels, try not to kerb them ;)

I'm gonna say white, although they will be a pig to keep clean - especially at this time of year.

If not white, then silver, or as near to the standard titanium as you can.   ;D

I'm one for keeping wheels bright colours.  Dark coloured wheels tend to blend in with the tyres, so you can't really see them.
