Hi guys my wheels need a refurb, I'm undecided on what colour to have, it's a black eddie, I want to keep as oem look as possible but with a twist! :rolleye: red robin did put a pic up of some monzas in a nice shade, wasn't to dark if memory serves me correct, I don't want black or anything like that, any pics and ecommendations for a decent company In the midlands will be great

Don't have any pics but the only 2 colours I'd think suit it will be either oem silver or a light shade of gunmetal. Although the BBS CH's Steve P is selling would look very raw on the car

Check out the Wheel thread http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,19933.0.html (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,19933.0.html) Red Robins are on the first page along with many other shades. :happy2:

i think black with a rim protector in red would look ace but you've said it's not what you're after
what about a sort of smoked chrome colour? would look great against black
-
I think black and red looks good but I'm not a lover on black on black, a smoke chrome sounds good :drinking:

I do actually really like the black with red lip! I'm thinking smoked chrome,

Some more pics of what A1 Wolverhampton call "Smoked Chrome" but the colour will look different on Pescaras:

As far as Monza's are concerned they still look very OEM but the shades change slightly according to the light.

:congrats: thanks robin :happy2: I've heard lots of good things about A1
I'm torn between smoke chrome and black and red!
-
I have black MK5 with Black Monza's. I know black wheels not everybody's cup of tea, but I do really love it.
-
Black requires a very good finish to look decent. I'm sure A1 could match the satin look of OEM Detroits, and maybe even the diamond cut rim.

I've just had my S line wheels refurbed in Anthracite. Identical to Pescaras so should give you an idea.
Refurbed by the wheel specialist.

Love that pic Andrew! :congrats: I almost saw one of those rain droplets run down the wheel!!
And yes A1 can replicate this finish and diamond cut the rim. :happy2:
