Something like gunmetal grey. I sometimes like the darker colour of mine when they are dirty and have wondered whether to do it myself. |

I like both of the above suggestions. Was going to suggest shadow chrome. Not blackā¦..

Thank you. I was thinking black and had second thoughts along similar lines, esp with the tinted windows. But living in SE London, projecting a certain look can be to your advantage. Take the other day when I went to the convenience store dressed in an Adidas tracksuit and white baseball cap. Itās the first time the aggressive beggar outside didnāt demand money from me. That saved me having to ask yet again whether he likes sex and travel. So the black wheel option hasnāt entirely left the buildingā¦. |

Gunmetal was my second option and rapidly rose to first place after re-considering the full gangster alternative. I couldnāt find a pic of a black L322 with gunmetal wheels. Hoping one might be posted here. Thank you. |

Shadow chrome is a colour Iām not familiar with but it conjures up a nice image. Any pics of a shadow chrome wheel? Even better if itās on a black L322. Iām thinking a close match to the shade on the front bumper strip or bonnet panel could work. Alternatively, Iād almost certainly get both those parts painted to match the wheels. Iām sure Iām not the only one here with colour match OCD. |

Nah, keep it silver, gunmetal look dirty all the time, black just horrible.

Just leave it as it is. It looks right.

Agree on the general dislike for black wheels, esp. on a black car and even more so on a Range Rover, unless youāre going for that wannabe gangsta look

Your car looks great and I really like that colour on the wheels.
