    I'm thinking about getting my wheels refurbished as a couple of them are showing signs of corrosion (one is particularly bad and has been touched up in the past). I could just get them redone in silver but I wondered whether titanium might look good instead so I played around with a couple of photos to see what it might look like.
    Comments would be appreciated (and I know I can count on you all to be honest )

    Yeah I'm with DF on this one... it kinda just doesn't look right. If you don't want silver, what about silver with a metal flake thro it. It sounds cheezy but it's very subtle and when the sunlight hits them, they sparkle.... I had that on my 18's that I had on my coop last year....

    Silver. Purely for the same reasons as above.

    Right, I know I said be honest but .........

    Thanks guys for the quick feedback - I think you just confirmed what my head was already telling me .

    It's not that I don't want silver again as I generally do prefer bright shiney wheels but I thought it was worth considering the options up front.

    What about candy red?

    Cheers,
    Del
