Looking for a bit of help in choosing a colour to get my FN2 Civic Type R alloys powder coated in. The car is Milano Red, with gloss black bumper inserts like this (Ignore the 19" alloys - changing to the standard 18" alloys to try and get some sort of ride quality!)

Thinking of gloss black :

Or anthracite (sorry can't find a picture of a red one with anthracite wheels)

White?

Any opinions?
 
Gotta disagree with my fellow Nuneatoner, white is pretty horrible on anything other than a white car. I really like anthracite or gun metal grey but I think black will probably suit best... although I like what its wearing at the moment.
 
Black wheels always look cack, anthracite wheels adds another colour, white wheels are a massive pain in the arse....

I'd go stock silver!
 
I like the current wheels best too - unfortunately on these roads, the ride on the 19" alloys is ridiculously harsh, so hoping the 18s will give a little more comfort..
 
Fn2 ctr is never gonna be a car of choice if ride quality matters! Personally id go for dark anthracite, black looks good but your tyres always end up looking brown...anthracite is also easier to clean compared to black.
 
Black wheels look awful 95% of the time IMHO, so white or silver for me. I happen to think red goes quite well with white.. ;)
