Black on a silver truck always looms good (or a dark colour anyhows)

To be honest, I'm leaning towards body colour. I've got black wheels at the moment and I've also 'done' black wheels on a previous Land Rover, so definitely want a change. In an ideal world, I'd go for white but I don't think it goes with a metallic finished vehicle

I’d go for white , Wolf wheels look great on any Defender , even metallic https://www.instagram.com/hustynminepark/

Body colour in your case would not look good imo. Gloss black would be perfect, but if you want a change, I’d go for a gloss anthracite grey, like the Sawtooth wheels on the LXV limited edition. That contrast of the darker anthracite grey wheels on your lighter grey metallic truck would be nice, but not jump in your face. And certainly no metallic for those steel wheels. Just my 5 pence of course. Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

Thanks for the suggestions, chaps. Anthracite is an interesting idea. I did wonder if it may be too close to the body colour to be distinct but I'll take another look. Darren

Argh, my eyes
Wheels now delivered to paint shop and having been able to see an example next to the vehicle, I have gone with anthracite
Could be ready by Saturday but then I need to sort new tyres, so probably won't be fitted for a week or so. Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!" - Princess Leia |

They do, although if I had that body colour then the wheels would be white
