I love black wires and agree the combination is more vintage. Montague's car looks much better with the change. Black alloys look great as well. Pleased I got black on mine and I find them easy to keep clean. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/05/09/1.jpg) Dove Grey and black wires  What a great choice, I see you're in West Herts so you must me close to me here in Rickmansworth  We need to arrange a pint and a photo shoot  Absolutely Dave - would be a pleasure. PM me when you feel like it. I love black wires and agree the combination is more vintage. Montague's car looks much better with the change. Black alloys look great as well.

I think some mohs look better with chrome/stainless wires, but black looks so much better here. Agree with the above, Quicksilver's Dove Grey over black wires is an inspired choice  I was always a huge fan of Sport Grey, but Dove Grey with black wires is now my favourite colour combination on a Morgan. Thanks. Chrome wires can also look great - depends on the colour of the car. But I find chrome wires are not a good match on grey cars. I love black wires and agree the combination is more vintage.

What is your secret mine look filthy after 5 miles especially the rears Never driving the car helps ! Only kidding - I just find they don't show up the muck too badly and when they do, they are easy to clean with a damp sponge. Unlike chrome wires, black ones don't need to be gleaming and sparkly.

I'm a fan of black alloys.

A traditionally styled car always looks better when the wheels are the same colour as the upholstery. And black is cool AF anyway.

![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/3tHf4jc/IMG-0449.jpg) Black wires with Jaguar battle ship grey … all my cars have painted wires - no chrome. When I changed the wires for my XK150 FHC (silver) I changed from chrome to silver painted - for me a great improvement. Regards Detlev
