Leave them as they are shaun.

LOL, perhaps you didnt read my post but i did say i want them a bit darker, the other issue is out of the 4 new alloys and tyres i bought one has been scratched in transit and one has a small indent in the paint :sick:
-
Definately darker IMO. Either anthracite, or gloss/satin black?
-
RED :signLOL: would look mad
-
Kind of a shade of anthracite that actually looks blue?
-
Its hard to get a nice anthracite finish on wheel ive found, some look too red and some green.
After owning a couple if Integras in the past ive decided the shade they have from factory is best.
I think its called Kiaser, if you like it i can get the exact code, heres a set of wheels sprayed in the paint -

A mid to darkish grey will look best against the silver similar to the TDs Mr Pound had on his mk6.
I had black wheels on my silver GTI for a while and it didn't look right.
-
Yea that does look a good colour, are the lacquered?, I still want a glossy shine

Gotta be Gloss Black as it will pick all the Gloss black accents on the car itself! :happy2:
-
I'm really liking the colour of the wheels on that white A4 - that looks very nice - Cant say ive ever seen black wheels that look nice, my main gripe being that they just dont look right cos of the black tyres
-
what about this ?

I'm with Nath on this.. :happy2:
-
spare set of 19's :signLOL:
gloss black, but maybe get the centre of the three 'bars' on each spoke done in silver as a contrast.
theres a diamond shape as it goes out to the spoke edge , so there is a line to mask to.
you could do the edge and centre spokes black vs silver for rest or vice versa with edge etc silver.
either that or go polished (but not chrome) look
-
I'm with Nath on this.. :happy2:
I feel black is to extreme although i have considered it lol
-
Lol love it. 2 pages on here - absolute zilch on the other site!

Nah thats not extreme, Neon green/pink or orange is a bit more edgy! :signLOL: If VW offer it as an option on the R it can't be too far out there! :confused: have a look see if there are any RS Golf R pics knocking about with that option. :wink:
-
^^ Vw's Black Pack for £900 AFAIK, includes black alloys and Black gloss inner trims etc :innocent:
Bargain :signLOL:
Do it shaun :happy2:

It does hide it alot, I have seen them on a White golf R un the flesh. For some reason VW don't offer black rims as an option on the scirocco R

It's a symptom of the photographs more than anything. To be honest I think they'd be improved by a polished lip.

Gloss black for me! The silver Golf R is just :drool: :drool: :drool:

Pics never really do Gloss Black wheels justice. Plus why does anybody want to see tyres anyway? :confused:

I agree re the tyres, but would like to see the architecture and design of the wheel. I think that 'Kaiser' shade of anthracite would look good, but you will IMO have to keep them really clean to get the best from the colour. Black just makes it look like it has lost it's wheel trims, and is riding on steels!
IMO.
-
Have you thought about the aeromax finish that aerocoat do?
I think cossy on here used them to refurb his ed30 rims.
Lots of peeps on uk-mkivs.net use them for the BBS RC rims from the anni. Powdercoat finish is spot on, there not black and not grey, give a very high shine finish. See if i can find any links for you.
Would look spot on against silver..

:happy2:
The pictures show them being very light silver but speak to them as they do a darker version which i think will be just what your after.
-
Gloss black would look good :happy2:
-
Been to a Wheel place today and found this colour, i would also adding a really glossy lacquer as i want them wet

We also tried a dark smoke chrome which he said he could leave with silver accents on certain areas

Ah, the wheel specialist - get on their newsletter list, they send out late notice offers sometimes.
Always liked the smoked chrome - never seen them on a car but they look great.
-
someone photoshopped me these, what do we think ?, im kinda leaning towards Glossy black now :confused:

-
Gloss black with some form of edge to seperate from the tyre.
-
Dont want to do the edge thing as it means diamond cut edge or polished which will mean white worm or it has to be painted which im not keen on
-
I am in the gloss black gang :happy2:. Though they look good in all those colours. We all know your going to have 5 or 6 sets of them anyway, so why not try all the colours. :laugh:
-
"bit darker" for me.
Gloss black makes the tyres look grey, which I know is a pointless comment, but it grates on me.

yeh im leaning towards anthracite again today after seeing a few cars with gloss black on
-
I reckon gloss black looks great :happy2:
-
Ive always liked satin black, i think the gloss doesnt go with the tyres too well unless dressed, and the satin finish just looks perfect ! and wears dirt a little better
-
I like the chromish black :happy2:
What about the smoked chrome finish you had on your st wheels?
