Rotary 18" Anthracite Alloys on a GTI?

[Gryzor]

Lol, i think the complete opposite! I don't think dark wheels suit dark cars.

Haha, it's all pretty relative mate, I generally don't like dark wheels full stop!  A menacing looking Lamborghini in matt black with some dark wheels can look stunning, but I can't remember seeing a normal car on the road that sported dark alloys that I liked the look of.

I guess if you are looking at a set of winter wheels anyway they are a good set and will hide the muck a bit, but at £350 - £400 a corner...nah!

£260 a corner plus your choice of tyre so not toooo bad really?

Was thinking of just having the factory tyres put on them and keeping the original rims/putting them on ebay

I hope he doesn't mind but these are my favourite aftermarket wheels along with BBS CH's and he has one of the best looking mk6's on the forum with some lovely subtle mods.

i've had a Mk7 GTI for two days and the longer i look at it the more the austin's need to go, spotted the rotary's months ago and if mrs w orders that it will be sporting with austins consigned to the garage, th GTD rims look way better

self confessed anthracite fanboy though as keeps the detail which is lost with gloss black and a bit more interesting

Thats the ones! Not cheap with decent tyres mind but you can also have them in different finishes.

They're not much more expensive than the VW ones though?

Fair point.


I reckon i'd go for the CH's tbh.

Just wondering, aftermarket vs deal fit alloys - are there benefits on the insurance side of things for going VW?

[Jimble]

Nope, they'll still need to be declared (officially) so makes no difference.
