Someone is having a slightly later "teenage moment". I believe the phrase for a black/black/black car these days is murdered out. Lovely!

Have you considered matt for the wrap for the full effect. A bit like a demented F117, all curves instead of no curves!

Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

I prefer the black style of wheel on a Morgan Peter. The spoked type wheel of the First edition Plus Six just isn't in keeping with a Morgan and looks like its come straight off a new Porsche to me.

The black wheels are more retro and reminiscent of Dunlop racing alloys from the 1960's. Maybe they would look better in Silver on your car which has a brown hood and sidescreen panels, but still nicer than the original wheels though a purely personal opinion.

Can anyone manage photoshop well enough to take the side view and copy the body colour on to the wheel?

The copper brown is very unique, beautiful, but sensitive in mixing with other colors, in my view. If someone photoshopped, I would like to see the rims in the car color, and alternatively in a not too bright but muted silver.
In black color it looks a bit tough in my view, but everything is a matter of taste.

Cream would match the exterior paint.

Once again, I think the wheels look great, A color change would tick all boxes, my choice would be "Matte silver"

I've often thought of changing mine to speedsters... but don't hate my wheels enough to do it.

Super work on the editing. I'm a big fan of the Speedster style wheel and enjoy their references to the old steelies. Perfect match to the +8 understated aggession IMHO.
Have always thought the spoked wheels looked a bit incongrous. Same on the Plus Six if I'm honest.
