White alloys > Black alloys

Thank to some little **** that slashed two of my tyres and wrote off one of my alloy wheels, Im left with a slight dilema.
Due to how rare the black ITR is in the UK it’s very very hard to find a black alloy off the car that someone will sell, but white ones are easy to find.
So what do you think of the white alloys on my car?

Old wheels:

Might be gettin wheels:

It seriously changes the looks of the car, from a stealthy like look to a rally esq look, so what are people views?

Old or black ones IMHO, a totally black car is :cool: :thumbsup:

I personally like the color offset. Makes things stand out more. Bummer way to have to do it though. I say to shoot the b@stards!

i guess if they’re rare, you might be able to make some cash selling the black ones…

Uck. Black alloys m8 every time.

I agree :nod:

Black’s best IMO.
I’m told Halfrauds have a 20% sale on alloys at the moment.

Yep, huge sale at Halfords.

I can’t say I like the white ones either.

These are Honda ‘Honda’ Alloys though. Are Halfords likely to sell them? I doubt it.

No, but a set of new, black or anthracite alloys on sale at Halfrauds might work out cheaper than either a set of 2nd hand white Honda alloys or even a replacement black Honda alloy at dealer prices.

There are companies that can shotblast and powdercoat alloys just about any colour you like.

Might be cheaper to get a single white wheel and have it repainted to match what you have already on the car.

Or if the black ones are really that rare, get a whole set of whites all done in the colour of your choice and Ebay the rare ones with a high reserve.

But if they are not Honda Alloys won’t it cause an increase in
his insurance esp since someone has allready tried to nick em
once ?

Good point PMM but in any case the white ones look rank! They look like someone’s hand painted them with Dulux. Black ones are better, they make the car look much sleaker.

Love the black ones, would keep them if you can m8!:slight_smile:

Can’t you order one from Honda directly?
