^^

That looks awesome, loving those wheels  :cool: I wish Detail My Ride was down my way. 

I don't dislike the silver mirrors and lip but think gloss black will look more stealthy.  I'll have to wait and see what the silver looks like against deep black pearl in the flesh  :undecided:

Mrs W appears to like these wheels more than the Cadiz, given they are anthracite they just do not sit well with the bling

Such a classy colour on the move, love the lapiz but unfortunately after sunset when it has a lovely purple hue it just attracts too many chavs

Probably be shot down for this but I think they are nicer than the cadiz, which I've never been keen on.  I guess if the mirrors and lip were anthracite too that could look good.

Did you wrap your mirrors then as opposed to fitting black mirror caps?

Haha, shame yours turns into a chav magnet after sunset.

After waiting 8 weeks today for repairs to start on my car (and it getting a damn good wash in the process), i've relented and cleaned it myself, as it was a "toasty" 11C. It now looks sparkling (C2V3 still hard at work). Sods law is that i'll be getting a call tomorrow from the repairers to book it in.

Sods law prevails, got a call from Mill car clinic today. New tailgate due in this week and on the assumption it has no transit damage, they've provisionally booked my car in for next Monday.

Pictures following a trip to Detail My Ride and a wheel swap











Mirrors and lip to be wrapped gloss black next on the list and possible some lowering springs when it has fully settled

That's one nice looking .:R Wigit. Really good choice of wheels, but then I am biased (see signature).

ChrisG they are VW Rotary Alloys which are in the accessories brochure, these are also an option on US spec GTIs

SRGTD i cannot believe more have not gone for them, they looks miles better than the cadiz
