morning people, I'm after some advice if anything.

my alloys are going bubbly and in need of some TLC, only problem is when i get them refurbed I'm not sure if i should change the colour as being silver they do get dirty very quickly and being on a white car that doesn't help either. lol

has anyone got any photos of their X3 with standard rims but changed the colour during ownership?

I created these comparison images in PhotoShop for a friend who was thinking of changing the wheel colour on his car.

It's not white and it's not an X3, but this might be useful to give you an idea of how darker wheels will affect the look of a car.

First pictures in each set are the OEM wheels and the rest get progressively darker - the inner barrel has been left as OEM silver to provide contrast.
