Which colour Zu alloys?

LeadFarmer · Mar 30, 2011

My 110 is going for a respray mid April, changing the colour to Bonatti Grey, including wheel arches, and fitting Brunel silver grill & headlight surrounds

Gunna buy a set of Zu alloys with BFG AT Tyres, but which colour Zu's do you think will look best against Bonatti grey?

Narrowed it down to Anthracite, Gloss Black or Matt Black.

Anyone got any photos of grey Defenders with Zu's?

Gloss black IMO.

Have a look on Defender 2 forum. Loads on there.

Are these wheels as strong as the steel modulars?

LeadFarmer · Mar 31, 2011

They're strong in terms of looking good

Litch · Apr 1, 2011

They are strong in as much as they have a 1400KG rating which is better than just about any other alloy on the market (Blindo is 1550KG).

I've got anthracite ones on my green 90, they blend in quite well with the galvanising without being too "bling" like silver ones.

Thanks Litch, I forgot to mention I have a lot of visible galv on my 110 (chassis, tree sliders and bumper). Although I might paint the sliders and bumper black.

Might have to wait till its been resprayed and see how it looks, then decide on colour of Zu's.

Them ZUs really look nice!

I would get black if I could afford them.

I likey.......

I went for the matt black as they are subtle and don't look dirty all the time! Look quite good too.

I agree, matt black over gloss any day... my 110 is BT grey and I just bought a can to touch up and spray my new hinges.... thats as bold as I go re paint
