I’m thinking of changing the colour of mine:

Keep it the same, it looks very nice the way it is, and will keep the classic look.
Black will look too Gangsta IMHO, but it’s a personal thing.
(I’ve done my L405 wheels Shadow Chrome, but it’s Corris Grey so they look OK). â€œIf it ain’t broke, don’t fix itâ€� -where’s the fun in that?

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 black…..

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

Go to all that expense to have a nice set of wheels and then paint them black, go figure.

Just leave it as it is. It looks right.

Whatever you do, don't paint them black. The black on black on black on black with black tints and black accents with black bits look has been done to death. 2012 (L322) 4.4TDV8 Vogue SE, RSE, Fuji White over Arabica.

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

Recently had mine refurbished shadow chrome, which was one of the OE options for the wheels I have fitted.

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

The black wheels option has now left the building. And ‘leave as is’ has returned. I do like the original colour though it doesn’t key to anything else on the car and I can’t get my head around why it looks so good. Is it just the contrast?

One thing I like about the shadow chrome option is that it picks up the grey tones elsewhere on my car - running board trim, bonnet panel and lower front bumper strip.

This is where I get my preference to shadow chrome from…..

I can see why. That’s a great look.

and another Sumatra Black with shadow chrome, had more than a few good comments over winter since I had the new wheel inserts from Steve

Very nice! Have you got a pic of the whole car? And how to I contact Steve about those great centre caps?
