In the world of car modification, one of the most popular choices among car owners is the selection of alloy wheels. Not only do alloy wheels improve the overall aesthetic of a vehicle, but they also offer several performance benefits. However, with so many different colours and finishes available, choosing the right colours for alloy wheels for your car can take time and effort.
At LK Performance, we see countless customers asking us for the perfect matching colour alloys for their car, so we’ve decided to go through each of the most popular car colours and show you which alloy wheel colours are the best fit.
Ultimately, it’s all a matter of personal preference, but it can help to get an expert opinion on what compliments the body paint (and brakes if they can be seen), whether you have classic silver and black, to more bold and vibrant colours like red and blue.
Grey, silver and white cars are all in the same category because the same principles apply when it comes to matching them with new alloys. The light, modest nature of these colours means that the wheels are allowed to go crazy and stand out.
You can choose to either match the elegance of these colours with matching silver or gunmetal alloys or opt for a sportier aesthetic with a bright blue or red—truly any colour works exceptionally well with grey, silver or white.
Black is a very versatile colour that can be the base for many creative and bold looks. You could create a striking and elusive all-black aesthetic with matching black rims or add a sharp contrast with white, silver or grey wheels to make them the focal point. Alternatively, if you’re after a dash of luxury, some gold-coloured rims make a perfect middle ground between elusive and bold wheels.
Things can get tricky for red cars, as it is already a showpiece colour. The best all-round approach is to go for black rims with a red car, or if you want a more sophisticated look, try bronze colour alloys that offer the prestige of gold colouring while still complimenting the red bodywork.
When people think of what alloy wheel colour to adorn their blue car, they immediately think of the Subaru approach - gold-coloured wheels to create a fitting tribute to the rally legends. Perhaps you want to go in a different direction, in which case, rim colours such as black and gunmetal will stand out on their own without overpowering the blue bodywork.
It’s well known that white and orange are a match made in heaven, and this is the same case for white wheels on an orange car. Surprisingly, blue wheels work well with the right shade of orange, which will be attractive to those who want an all-out, no-holding-back aesthetic to their car.
Green is perhaps the trickiest popular body colour to work with. You don’t want to get in the way of a colour that already doesn’t fit with many others, but a modest silver or hard black should complement green cars well. Nonetheless, you may be surprised at the results when trying out a slightly different colour of green. Analogous colour theory means that different shades of the same colour have a good chance of working together, so this could be a more daring option for those who want to make a statement.

Most delays are temporary. Follow these steps:
The delivery driver will leave a card saying that he has made a delivery attempt, along with instructions on what to do next.
We do ask you to allow up to three working days for courier deliveries. If your goods still have not appeared after that time or no one has contacted you by email or telephone, please email us at [email protected].
After placing an order online, you will receive a confirmation email. Following this your order will be set to processing and then delivered once it has been dispatched. After you receive the delivered notification via email, you will receive an email or text message from the courier with your tracking number.
Although we carry a large range of wheels and tyres in stock, we cannot have everything, so in some cases if a product is being sent directly from the manufacturer an invoice will not be included in the parcel. You should receive an invoice by mail a few days later. If you do not receive an invoice, please email [email protected] so we can arrange a copy.
Very occasionally goods get damaged in transit. We always inspect the products before we pack them but after they leave our hands accidents do happen. Please sign the delivery docket with the driver 'damaged' if the outer packaging looks damaged in any way. We then ask you to inspect goods upon receipt and notify us of any damage within 24 working hours by calling us on 01274 877787 or sending us an email at [email protected].
If the goods have been damaged in transit and are faulty, we reserve the right to replace the product. We will of course arrange a collection for the damaged parts and arrange replacements as soon as possible. Please keep all packaging and do not try to fit the damaged parts.
If something is not right about the goods that you have received, please email us at [email protected] or telephone us to let us know. All goods are sold to the manufacturer's Conditions of Sale and Guarantee. Goods specially ordered cannot be returned for credit. We reserve the right to make a handling charge on goods returned against orders correctly executed.
Aftermarket alloys are typically lighter than their stock counterparts, reducing unsprung weight and improving the performance of your car. They’re also available in larger diameters and widths, allowing larger brakes and wider tyres to be installed for increased cornering performance and stopping power.
Alloy wheels have a far longer lifespan than steel wheels. When well cared for, they can last for decades - and they can be easily refurbished and restored to look as good as new.
