RE: Deadline for my order Looming !!!!

Just go for the standard alloys, painted ones soon show stone chips and small scratches and will look tatty in a short time. This also gives you time to look around for something that is manufactured in black and a set of genuine 18" alloys to sell on to help recoup the cost of the black ones

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Standard for me, Black might look good on a Fuji, but if they are painted there's more chance of damage, scrapes and flaking, which means more effort keeping them pristine.

Evoque No3: MY15 Dynamic Lux SD4, Auto, Santorini Black, Pimento Dynamic Plus Sports Seats, Ebony headlining, Pan Roof, Shadow Chrome Alloys.

Standard for me as well. I saw some black ones on a Fuji that was in need of a wash and they did not look very good at all.

Arrived! SD4 Auto, Autobiography 5 door, Kaikoura Stone with Tan interior, HUD/Solar glass, ACC, Lane Departure warning, Sign recognition plus spare wheel. Built 16 March. Collected 2 April.

I love black alloys however the problem is (if you're OCD like me) after a while the tyres side walls go grey and then the combination looks a little odd, unless you want to black your tyres every week.
