Colour Suggestions...Nakatanenga ANR Classic

I’ve got 5 primer finish ANR Classics and another pile of KW3’s sat in my hallway waiting for me to decide on a colour and get them painted.

I started off thinking satin black, then Fuji White and now I’m considering a satin bronze to go for something a bit different. It’s a Fuji DCPU. Always good to have another opinion so here we are

Brunel silver to match the grill and headlight finishers? Darren

Not a bad idea, I was thinking of a Bowler front bumper in graphite which would continue the theme. I'm just a bit uncertain about a silver wheel. 110 DCPU

I'm hopeless with colours but... IMO it would be a decision between Fuji white or black and unusually for me I think black?

Exacty my first thought. But then it's a simple wheel and is it going to get lost in a sea of black? I'm coming back to white again

Exactly my normal thoughts! Hence my choice... But have to say I'm growing to like black rims more and more....

You could go black and stuff them with snow!

Definitely this - the deep dish won't help either..

For me, it'd either be white, Brunel silver or something whacky like yellow. Black wheels just look a bit meh unless they're a particularly striking design. Darren

I think so. Which is why I started to consider a satin bronze or as you say, a silver grey. Adds a bit of interest.

I quite like the current white though and my main idea when buying the wheels was to keep it looking stock but give it a better stance. 110 DCPU

On JOWs 110 i think the black looks fantastic but that is because of the roof, door decal and other black breaking up the white, if the rest of the car is staying white, as others have said I would go brunell to match the grill etc DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,

I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy

I’d be going for white or black on them, probably black so that you have definition and not just a sea of white

I wouldn’t be going for Brunel or any grey/silver, personally I don’t think steels look good in grey/silver, if you wanted silver wheels I’d be going for alloys.

IMHO you have too much white going on, I like a Storm Trooper gloss black contrast to white but as LandRoverAnorak points out you have silver elsewhere so you could cleverly two tone them to match.

You could also apply the same colour the chequer plate and other black trims to keep it uniform, and a colour match silver roof would top it off

Black as much as i love it, gets lost. Jury is still out on the other colour.

As said above, black would get lost so i would go either silver/grey but the white would bring them out more

The all white does actually work in the flesh - at least I think so. Was even considering white headlight surrounds and grille at one point
