Oryx white gets my vote. Changes from white to silver to gold depending on sunlight. Not cheap tho.

I do like those Brescia wheels (and have ordered them for mine) but I do wonder how easy they will be to damage through 'curbing'? What do others think?

Generally it's the wife that drives by 'touch' but I admit I have spoilt a rim through carelessness (or aggressive curbs as I prefer to think of it  :whistle:)

Very likely. I'm very careful but have had 3 curbing incidents on two of my wheels in 2 years. There's so little tyre and so much wheel that if you touch a kerb you will almost certainly cause damage. Still, with mine the damage is only really noticeable when up close and corrosion hasn't set in yet. Expect it to lessen the dissappointment when it eventually happens and just enjoy the looks :smiley:

I've been thinking the same but my logic was that I'd never kerbed the rims on my Octavia, that was until this morning at least... :cry:

Octavia vRS rims seemed to be quite narrow compared to the tyres and relatively low risk for curbing. I had two estates and neither suffered any wheel damage even allowing for wife's driving style!!

@ Daz Auto, thanks for all these pics mate, really helping.  DP Black looks good but don't think I could live with it due to the cleaning demands.  Atlantic blue just isn't for me.

Need to see a good Isaac Blue and Indium Grey to complete the set now

Oryx white doesn't change colour like that, on a dull day it looks just like flat white, on a sunny day it looks great especially if you're wearing sunglasses. At night under some nice led lighting like in supermarket car park it looks brilliant.
