Title: Silver gti, what colour wheels would look good?
Post by: jamiep91 on November 10, 2012, 12:33:00 am

So I'm planning to buy some bbs lm's but don't want them silver so will be getting them powder coated but not sure on a colour I've been thinking a sparkly dark bluey/purple colour.

What's your opinions and has anyone spotted any pictures of silvers golfs with blue/ purple wheels ? Thanks

Sparkly Blue/Purple! NO.  :sick:

Post some pics of your car and "Photoshop" may ensue and you never know, I could be wrong (usually am) but it could look nasty. How about the centres in Anthracite and leave the rim in polished Silver, a little conservative maybe. Have a look through the wheel thread, bound to be some there....

not really a fan of black wheels but i do think they look good on a silver gti - so maybe huffs/detroits or some black oz/td pro race

Yeh that would be the obvious route to go black or anthracite like hundreds of other people but I want something a little different, they are only reps aswell so be easier to get the whole lot sprayed. These will be my winter wheels though I'm gonna go for some gold centres with a silver lip for summer but not sure what make/style wheel yet.

Il check the reflex silver thread I didn't know there was one :)
