I have standard alloys think they're called classics. They are in need a refurb so Thinking about changing the colour of them. Toying with the idea of getting them powder coated white. Thoughts?

I'm buying my mates r32 omanitys after the year. So the standard wheels will be used there after as winters.

White wheels are a pig to keep clean. Because of the light colour you can see the inside rim quite easily as well. It'll make you want to remove the wheels every time you wash it to clean them right.
How about anthracite/gunmetal? The other option I've thought about doing mine is aero chrome?
-
Or Black Chrome if you wanna go down the stealth route...
-
Gold. :star:
-
pink/green, with matching lipstick/callys.
-
What's aero chrome ? And black chrome? And pictures to help me make my mind up please?
-
AeroChrome - a powdercoat possibly only available at Pentland Powdercoating. Here's a set of my BBS CH002's back in the Mk4 days. :drool:

Something different that stands out but I'm not wanting it to look stupid.

Gun metal always looks good to me and would be my choice.
Can't say I like white to be honest mate but each to their own!
-
Could somebody photoshop my standard wheels gold to see what it looks like? I'll take a better picture
-
Anthracite looks good on any car IMO.
-

I like the gold wheels on that other black golf. Was hoping somebody could photochop mine gold to see what it would look like.
