QPV - Alloy Wheel colour code?

[gb-gta]

I fear yellow callipers would clash with my pearl beige interior, closer than red though.

Maybe I should get pearl beige callipers?

Weather not the best, but here are the before and after from the refurb I’ve just had done.

Before was an unknown gunmetal shade, which I still really like, but I wanted to go lighter grey and chose Grigio mercury in the end as didn’t want to guess what the original ‘dark chrome’ was off a photograph.

Totally biased of course, but much prefer the end result - nice job.

Just been reading this as I am looking at colour options. Has anyone has their QP wheels done in shadow chrome? I have shadow chrome on my BMW M5 and it’s hard to achieve but looks great once done right on the M5.

Yes I did. It's subtle and I added a red pin line on the inside of the rim.

Do you have any side on shots please?

How much is everyone paying? I just got a quote for painted at £115+vat per wheel.
Is that the going rate for 20”?

That sounds a tad high, including VAT maybe. I'm assuming that is for tyres off, any necessary repairs/prep but not necessarily a full strip, refit tyres and balance.
If they're not taking tyres off, I'd haggle.

Thanks.

They look much better slightly darker than the bright silver option. Going to take another look at my M5 wheels and make a decision to either go with Grigio Mercury or Shadow Chrome.

My winter set of 19" are Mercury colour - don't know the code.



...also with a red pin line

...also side on they look bright silver/chrome, you get the slight shadow look from an angle.
