Going for gold

Settled for bronze with the fresh set of wheels

1 July 2026 · Modification

When I bought the car, it came on black wheels that suited it beautifully with the black trim.

After our trip to Anglesey, I ordered a fresh set of silver wheels for track use on the way home; the Pirellis that came with it had taken a proper battering. I fitted the silver wheels and shod them with fresh Michelin PS4s.

I loved the look of the silver, but I scratched the itch and had the black set refinished in bronze.

The honest conclusion is that I like all three. I'm genuinely not sure which is best. Each one gives the car a distinctly different character, which probably makes different the fairest way to describe it.

For now, I've got the bronze and silver sets to play with and see which one sticks.

Where did I get them refurbed?

Planet Alloys in Aldridge, Staffordshire. Great job, fairly priced. Look great with the fresh set of black nuts supplied by SB Wheels - thanks Steve.

Black, silver or gold?

Three different looks for Enzo, but which set of wheels suits him best?
