depend's on the colour of the car really, but if silver the Antracite would look nice and break the colours up,a bit like dark car's look better with silver wheels imo

my car is silver but im looking to sell it and have it on auto trader so dont need the MV3's so thought id get them mint and sell them.

so what colour would attract the most buyers? they will have around 6mm on all tyres too.

i dont want to refurb them to a colour which only a few will find appealing.

thanks

To keep your market as wide as possible, I'd keep them OEM Silver

Tough one, I've got the Sport Plus with the darker wheels and a set of OEM silver MV3's in the garage awaiting a trip to the refurbers.

Mine will be my winter wheels and I considered keeping them silver to appeal to future purchasers when I look to sell them on in a couple of years.

Who knows what will appeal?

In the end I've decided, bol**cks. I like the darker wheels and they're going on my car. I know I'd have paid more for the darker wheels had they come up. With the increasing take up of winter wheels secondhand MV3's are like rocking horse sh*t at the moment and I can't see it changing for a good few years yet!

Get what you prefer, they'll sell either way!
