£1202 from awesome GTI so that's a fair old saving you'll be getting :smiley:
Lovely wheels, I think they will look brilliant on your car :cool:

I would say I'm normally a silver person but those gunmetal ones look great and will suit the Isaac Blue extremely well

I would go silver as brighter wheels work better with darker paint colours

This was my original thinking ... that said I've only owned the car since mid September and in dull weather conditions it does look more grey than blue.

As these will be summer only wheels, I hoping the gun metal will work ace against the blue paintwork in the sun.

Would appear that gun metal is certainly the more popular option on this forum, even the wife prefers gun metal.

Still a little undecided.  :whistle: Need to make my mind up soon.

Buy 2 of each, that way you can swap them from side to side depending on what colour you prefer at the time.

Seriously though I would have said silver on a dark colour car definitely 1 or 2 years ago but as said already silver are a bit bland now.

Not a Golf, but here’s my Blue Polo GTI with Anthracite / Gunmetal VW Motorsport alloys so you can see what a blue / gunmetal combination looks like. Picture was taken on a fairly bright day, but unfortunately, the sun wasn’t shining at the time.

IMO the combination works well, but I am biased!
