Interesting question. I can never keep my wheels clean enough for them to remain consistently black. I do park on gravel though.

Anthracite! ! ! !

I did and you can't see the brake dust!

dark grey anthracite

I'm with James on that,

Hides brake dust, and looks amazing on his car.

Go for a dark shade anthracite.

These are mine,

Black alloys these days look old fashioned tbh. But the trend is now to have dark grey wheels since the rado grey came out on the fiesta and focus st's. So every man and his dog now has grey wheels so you could say grey is the new black at the moment. I prefer the grey as I've got them on my st but I am now thinking I look just like everyone else now. But I will say grey works well with frozen white.

Apart from the ST's who have grey as standard, I don't see loads of Fiestas with grey alloys and they are not even that common on here

Black on the other hand, as the MK7 Fiesta Metal has them as standard you see quite a few white fiestas with them

Or go for something completely different like BMW M5 colour Silbergrau Wa 08

Just don't go gold

Red can look good if done right

Thanks for all the comments and pics I'm going to go for a very dark anthracite I will post pics when done, it's only costing £140 to get All 4 alloys powder coated

definitely dark anthracite with white cars, especially sins you have the wrapped black roof
