    White 110 what colour rims best?

    Hi all

    I am in the process of switching from the 7.50x16 to 235/85/16 tire size. Until I find a set of DIscovery I steels rims I am going to use a set of RRC Rostyle rims in their original metallic grey color, they need tidying- up with a fresh coat of paint.


    Any color or recommendation you would suggest for a white 110? I was thinking either to go with white or gunmetal.

    Thank you for your suggestions! Pictures are highly appreciated.

    All depends on what else is on the car to match also the colour of the car

    I have black on my 110 and think in my mind they are the best colour for steels.

    As you can see I'm not particularly fussed, but in reality there's not a lot of difference anyway.



    Front silver, rear white has been like that for a while.

    My own take on the topic of 90/110, County and Defender wheels:

    Land Rover steelies in white or body color if you have a vehicle in the following colors - Sandglow (Camel Trophy :-) or military olive or brown - on your car I would go for the same off white as your car (Arctic White 273).

    Land Rover alloys in silver or black (never color coded to the body!) depending on your assesories - on your car I would go silver.

    Aftermarket alloys in black - cue my own ZU's in matt black :-) NEVER anything that might be construed as shiny or blingy...

    Aftermarket steelies in black to avoid trying to look like fake alloys in silver...

    I'm in general not fond of gunmetal on any rim/ wheel other than a Mach 5 competition steelie, but that just my personal opinion

    Cheers,

    Lou

    I would have thought that generally "black" would be the easiest to "touch up" when u scratch them or have them balanced and u need to repaint the area where the lead balances were attached.....
