Black wheels on Titan Silver car...market appeal

Post by k31ron » Fri Aug 18, 2017 12:56 pm

I'm going to get my MV2 wheels refurbed on my Titan Silver Z as they and have corroded and have an affinity with Black ....however we "maybe" moving to Canada at the end of the year in which case I'll need to sell it :-( , do you think going for black wheels over standard silver would affect its market appeal?

Silver will definitely appeal to a wider audience, so if you're selling within a year I wouldn't bother with black.

quite like black wheels with Titan silver paint , but I think they can look dirty quite easily and Silver wheels will always sell to the masses.

Damn it! I thought that too.... but was hoping that someone would convince me I'm wrong.

I've never been a big fan of black alloys, although I do like a mix of the two. If I had the cash I wouldn't mind spending £350 on these:

gloss black hides any detail on the wheels, you can barely tell that they're mv2s. so IMO you're not missing out with silver

Silver is what you want whether you end up selling or not.

Black wheels have a very limited appeal.

Not for me, unless there's still some silver to distinguish an out-line

No need to sell it, as Zeds are quite welcome here in Canada !

would be tempted to bring it but for some odd reason the Canadians prefer the steering wheel on the wrong side :-)
