Title: Do i change my rims to gloss black? Help!!
Post by: gazon69 on November 29, 2012, 06:33:23 pm
Just had a few bits changed on my car and im thinking of changing my rims to gloss black, just wondered what anyone else thinks. Do you think the wheels still look ok in dark grey or should i go gloss black? Dont know why? Just got a thing for it a lately. Any help is always appreciated.

There's a couple of stone chips on them but nothing major. May leave them then.

Leave em, love the colour. Everyone with a red car goes fowr black.  Only colour change id make to your beauty are the Wing mirrors in Gloss Black with Smoked repeaters would be my only humble suggestion.

Car looks sweet gary, you could have had the inserts same colour as wheels that would have been different, might not have worked tho!

i wouldn't waste the money personally mate, the car looks great as is!

PS cheers for the Neuspeed turbo discharge pipe, had it fitted with an S3 IC and custom throttle body pipe by vRSAlex a few weeks ago and the car is so much more free revving!

lovely looking car!

I have red as well and in my view black alloys don't compliment red well! Yours are lovely
