Title: WHEEL COLOUR......... AGAIN....: D
Post by: joesgti on January 26, 2011, 02:58:43 pm: Getting my Wheels done, need opinions, i had my mind set on gloss black but ive just rattle canned my friends on his mk3 and it makes the wheels look smaller, i also like the bright std silver colour... or do i just settle for the inbetween anthracite. :party: They are getting done on the 1st, reason for the refurb is the previous owner must have been a muppet! :stupid:

Opinions please.

Although I think they would look even better if you headlights were darker inside too.

Post by: joesgti on January 26, 2011, 03:23:43 pm: yea, probs not the best picture, but i cant help thinking that gloss black will only look good on sunny days and when (spotlessly) clean, so about 3 1/2 days of the year!! :signLOL:

Title: Re: WHEEL COLOUR......... AGAIN....: D
Post by: swf7y on January 26, 2011, 07:05:25 pm: I think anthracite suits silver better. Nothing wrong with gloss black btw :P silver is finished IMO, been done for too long.

Title: Re: WHEEL COLOUR......... AGAIN....: D
Post by: Mandy on January 27, 2011, 09:43:38 am: Definitely Anthracite on silver cars, that would be the colour I'd go for if I were to get my wheels refurbed.
