Neil GTi,

Where did you get the VWR's from?

Who are you using Pete?
PPS?

Their anthracite coating is stunning...whilst their gloss black isn't as shiny as painted black.
I'd go anthracite. Oh yeah, I did:



They are great in this filthy weather..they just go dull.



Those BBS wheels look the nuts, how much do they cost?

Those are still my favourite wheel to date...... A timeless design perfect for all German cars and especailly Golfs.

Thanks for the opinions and the pics.  I think I'll go for the dark grey just to have a different look for winter.

Glen - yeah its PPS, so it will be the same colour as yours.  Their demo wheel looked much darker in the office than yours do though.  They were almost black, with a few silver flakes in there?

Hopefully I'll get them back for the weekend, and the tyres arrived yesterday.
Should be on just in time for the next wave of snow  :shocked:

Mine look almost black in artificial light...but the sparkles lighten them in sunlight/daylight.
Cracking finish Dave gets on them though, at PPS.
