I think wheels always tend to look best when brightest, cleanest and biggest (within reason). When going for a contemporary or sporty look a contrasting colour to the body can look good (e.g. white/silver/red body and black/grey wheels) but black on black/grey just looks a bit too drab to me. In the case of the FFRR it does not lend itself well to a sporty or contemporary look by nature of its DNA, therefore dark wheels just look a bit off brand and black on black/grey is the worst of the lot to me but each to their own

In the past I have always agreed, but I fancied a change, never thought I'd like it as much as I do. If we all wanted the same wouldn't life be dull!?? Discovery 4 HSE

Any thoughts on whether - given the all 'black' appearance - the orange front indicator strips work or are in need of some form of de-tango process?

Bet you'll keep looking at the orange now and keep wondering, should I do something with them or not!

Looked at ours yday (silver car) and whilst it doesn't have the revised front end, I did think (again/ not for the first time) it might look more 'seamless' on the eye just to get the vertical orange indicator strip wrapped in silver grey and/ or the strip replaced in that fashion.

Same with the red strip at the back.

Would certainly make for a cleaner look and would add an extra degree of subtlety and enhance that 'unique' look you're after. Si. <This is my name.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.

And the song goes....

"Standard, Standard, factory all the way...."

"That how a Range should look when going out to play..."

Agree Gary. For all I might often look and wonder should I shouldn't I, my personal preference tends to be to stock always works for everybody and therefore, 'keep it well, enjoy it and when the time comes, it will sell!'

I know I convert to 2012 spec but I try to make them look as factory standard/correct as possible

Not convinced on the black wheels - I'm more a bright silver wheel man myself..... But if we all liked the same things the world be a boring place Nice Full Fat all the same  Now: BMW 640d M Sport, Alpine White
