Hi there. So what colour should I do my BBS CH?
They are already Black with stainless lip... Shall I keep them like that or change?

Or anthracite / gunmetal colour but I couldnt find a pic of a red GTi with this colour.
-
anthracite :happy2: or allthe wheel gloss black
-
IMO as bright as much shine as possible with the red I think mate so polished up silver for me with the red centre cap :)

Def wouldnt have red centre caps I'm afraid.

Cant have gloss black. They mark so easily it would do my head in.

I would keep them the way they are :happy2:
Unless you are going down the route of colour coding the rear valance and side skirts.
If you go coded I think silver is the best option :happy2:

Red and Gold, classic combo IMO. Truly stunning :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Defo gold for me Iv been won over
Go for it :)
-
Love the gold, but personally think it looks at its best on a split rim. Anthracite/gunmetal gets my vote! Although I do quite like the black with the silver lip too. :happy2:
-
Right. well I've now got my wheels and they are not actually proper black editions with the stainless lip. They are just regular CH026 and someone has had them refurbed in satin black and painted a silver lip on them. Not a big deal (although I had come round to the idea of black with stainless) as it gives me more options for refurbs and the stainless rings were hideously expensive to replace!
So i've gone off the idea of the black with silver now and im thinking either light grey or the OEM pescara colour
-
Red and Gold, classic combo IMO. Truly stunning :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
....I was going to sat exactly the same - The combo really is a classic - It's just a case of having a gold which isn't too shiny bling.
Anthracite gets my vote as jedi doesn't go for gold.
Mine are titanium:

....But they look black and also you can't easily differentiate where the alloy ends and the tyre rubber begins.

Love the dark looking wheels on any car BUT recently saw these 19" BBS CH in Hyper Silver and have "nearly" decided these will be my next port of call for my Tornado ED30, OEM++ IMO.

....Do you know the expression "Gilding the lily" Steve - Think very hard about doing what is now a purrfect looking Ed30 and one which still does homage to its original form. Just my opinion.
I still think the right gold would look stunning on another Tornado Red. I thought about it briefly for mine but was sure of the OZ version of gold and mine were done primarily for lightweight and driver feedback.
-
love them the way they are right now man!! but if its time for a change thats fair play!

He who dares mate......
That would be a hell of a lot of gold though!! She looks lovely as is IMO. Love the BBS LM's with gold centres, would look :drool: on a Tornado Red (wish I was brave enough)!!

They dont look black at all :P, they look audi dolphin grey (Think Gunmetal Grey), its only the sh*te picture I took quickly on an overcast day as a member was badgering me for a pic of the car :grin:
Maybe if I could be bothered to take some decent pics in sunshine you would easily see them :happy2:
There u go, deffo Grey :happy2:
Not the best pic. but I was not washing the wheels just a pic :grin:

^^^^ Sanj, have you had your front window tinted to match the rear windows? Surly that's not legal, don't get me wrong mate, they look really good.
