Richard B Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Now that I have got everyones attention ;DJessica has now got a set of five 5-1/2 x 13J Dunlop steel wheels for her Herald Coupé, thank you William & Adam. ;D She is going to have them powder coated and the question is what colour. I've put grey as well as silver as some of the Ford wheel I have seen (remanufactured) look like a darker grey than the normal silver.Has anybody go some photos of white/cream 5-1/2's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 what colour is your car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 dave matons car has bright white 5 1/2's.....(supplied by a little friend of ours!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Having gone through similar deliberations myself, I concluded that white was the way forwards for me. Your final decision may depend on the colour of the rest of the car, but if it's dark blue as I recall then it would be white all the way for me!With Davemate's car being wedgewood, I thought his wheel were silver?

Mark Hammond Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I'd go White on early cars and Silver on later cars such as MKll Vitesse and 13/60s. Just my opinion.Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willows40 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I have the same problem. So interested in people's opinion, only thing is my car is going to be metallic blue, so not even sure the 51/2 steels will suit it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Cheers guys, the wheels on that red MkIII Spitfire look better than I thought they would.This is Jessica's car not mine. It is a Royal Blue Coupe wiith a white roof, so white wheels may well work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPearce Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Is that the one that did RBR last year? I'd go white on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I would never go silver on the Spit, the whites have always suited it. Even more so with the white hard top!I had a bigger dilemma with the GT though, with the colour of the car being white, I thought intially that the white wheels were too much. However having experimented as per the pics, I decided I wasn't a big fan of the look with silver. I think the way forward will be a creamier white than the body!
