I have been pondering with this for a while and have been torn between black and some kind or grey ( Anthrite ) any way I was looking at Black chrome and came across this colour and thought it would look nice any thoughts they will be on an ink blue
Its called Flash Chrome
Not the wheels in the image I will be getting my standard silver Nissan wheels changed to this colour

Terry, this subject of Wheel Colors is IMHO very personal, what somebody else likes you might not so really at the end of the day it is your desicion and you need to look around. Personally I like Black (Glossy) or Dark Grey, but it might not be your or other members choice - Dave

Yes I get what your saying I also like Black gloss and some grey, some will ask why are you even changing the wheel colour But I was just wondering if people thought this colour would actually go with ink blue, I know some will have there opinions that would totally be the opposite to mine.DaveBerlin wrote: ↑Tue Oct 09, 2018 2:24 pm Terry, this subject of Wheel Colors is IMHO very personal, what somebody else likes you might not so really at the end of the day it is your desicion and you need to look around.

I think the flash chrome would actually look really good with the Ink blue, it would make the colour really stand out.
I'm looking at getting my wheels powder coated soon too as the diamond cut wheels have alot of the dreaded "white worm". But I'll be going for a dark anthracite.

Here's some wheels I've had done recently. Black gloss on the Qashqai and dark chrome on the Zoe.
2015 1.6 dci Tekna, AWD.
Thanks for that dark anthracite was a colour I was looking at think it looks really nice, I think the reason I decided on going for the flash chrome was I wanted to be different,Greg86 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 09, 2018 4:09 pm I think the flash chrome would actually look really good with the Ink blue, it would make the colour really stand out.

From what I can see ( not taken them off yet ) the centre wheel caps, you can remove the chrome Nissan badge ( it looks like it clips in with 2 prongs ) so I will remove the badge and get these sprayed same as wheels then put chrome Nissan badge back on.

Terry, if you are “Popping” out the Centre Caps you could replace them in a suitable color. These are Nissan Caps available in several colors and are a Std Fitting. We changed ours to Red, see the attached post for interest, but Sorry it does appear that the photos from the old post were deleted when the Forum was updated - Dave

I was thinking get the centre caps done the same colour but then thought I will not be able to as the wheels are being powder coated, so it maybe a case of either spray them myself or buy new onesDaveBerlin wrote: ↑Tue Oct 09, 2018 9:31 pm Terry, if you are “Popping” out the Centre Caps you could replace them in a suitable color.
