Dove Grey and black wires shades

Amazing colour combo. I think some mohs look better with chrome/stainless wires, but black looks so much better here.

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.

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.

That looks great. I'm a fan of black alloys.

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

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.
