Hi
Anyone out there got an Oryx White MK7 or 7.5 with powder coated wheels?
Any pics would be appreciated please.
Cheers.

If the 19" Pretorias are powder coated then yes I have an Oryx White Golf R with Pretorias.  Once confirmed I can see if I can get a free moment to post a pic or two, unless someone else beats me to it.  Although I must advise you will not see any difference between Pure White and Oryx White on a pic, as photos don't show the pearl effect of Oryx White very well.

You might want to say what colour you want to see as powder coating is just a process  :smiley:

Thanks guys.

Yes sorry was really just looking for ideas on what peoples colour choices etc were when powder coating their wheels on a white golf. I have an Oryx White GTI Performance with Bresica 19" wheels. Having them powder coated next week at The Wheel Specialists, was going for Flash Chrome.
Thought if I saw some pictures of similar Golfs that had been  powder coated it might help me finally decided on what I will go for.
Thanks again.

IMO anthracite grey goes well with most paint colours, especially white or red where it gives a nice contrast.

If you do a Google search on ‘White Golf with anthracite alloys’, there are lots of images.

My old R with anthracite on a dull autumn day



My old PP with shiny BBS silver (not quite chrome look but not far off)



Or a Clubsport with silver/blue Pretorias on a sunny April day last year

Thanks m8, appreciated.
I like the BBS silver, want something that stands out like the diamond cuts but obv powder coating isn't going to recreate that but would like something near as possible I think.

The colour of the pretoria alloys is a really nice colour when matched up with oryx white paint on a golf.  I have had diamond cut 'Austin' rims and more recently pretoria's and I have to say once I got the Golf R with the Pretorias I actually preferred the look of the Chrome Blue colour on the Pretorias next to the Oryx White paint of my Golf, when compared to the finish of the Austins on my previous Golf which was also Oryx White.
