Neuspeed RSe12 ... silver or gun metal?
« on: 27 December 2017, 12:13 »
Seasons greetings all,

I've finally made a decision on which aftermarket wheels to go for.

Even though Michelin will not be producing the PS4S in 18" for the European market, I do plan to stick with 18" and keep the original Parkers for winter use.

I found a great price on the Neuspeeds, but the offer is only valid till 2nd January.

So my choice now comes down to either silver or gun metal?





What do you think will look best with the Isaac Blue paintwork? Just can't make my mind up, last week I was all for silver but today I'm thinking gun metal.

All comments appreciated, thanks

Where from if you don’t mind? I’m looking for new wheels myself and I was thinking about Konig backbones

I plan to get them from Etek Tuning in the US, they will ship free to California for me, so probably not going to be much use to you. https://www.etektuning.com/neuspeed-rse12-18x8-45-5x112-light-weight-wheel-for-vw-audi/

One of our family businesses imports every month from LAX, so will get them added to a shipment.

What a nice dilemma to have :smiley: I can see why you are unsure, both would look great but to me for different reasons. The silver would be quite showy and bling with the dark of the Isaac Blue but the gunmetal would have a more sporting, focussed and subtle look. So it depends on what look you are going for. For me, I think the gunmetal would edge it. I like the showy look having Santiagos but it's the black sections on them that create the balanced look so the fully silver Neuspeeds might be just a bit OTT. Happy deliberations :smiley:

Gunmetal for me too. Silver wheels look a bit basic now to my eyes.

Either - personal preference.

Gun metal looks great and will probably hide the dirt well?
