Well, personally I think black wheels just look as if they're covered in brake dust and unloved, but it's your decision.

Sounds good to me. :grin: Shouldn't be a problem changing at this stage.
There's been no real photos of a Mk6 R in Rising Blue with black wheels yet. But I've done some photochops:

I'm gonna risk it. If they don't look right, it shouldn't be too hard/expensive to change to silver. Sell the blacks on eBay and buy new silvers.

Black wheels might just about look okay-ish on a silver, red or white car (maybe). But not blue. I know it's a look inspired by motorsport but on a road car it just looks like someone's pinched the hubcaps. If they were back with a polished rim it'd look okay but they aren't, so it doesn't.

Personally think it looks rude as fook! :grin:
I say go for it :afro:
-
Worse case, if you don't like them black, get them re-sprayed silver. Easy.

^^^^^^^^I spec'd up a Golf R in RB with black 19"... Do it! :afro:

Dark wheels are 'in' at the moment but they do need to be a big contrast to the body colour (silver, white,red) IMO. 3 or 4 years down the line they might be against you come sale/part ex as i doubt black wheels will be sought after. To respray the faces and the insides you'd be looking at £300 a set.

Personally, I prefer silver wheels.
Black looks ok on something like a Lambo, but not on a Golf.
Just my opinion.
-
Silver looks best i think.

A month or so back one of the new GTi / GTD guys posted a pic of his [I think] red car with a kind of 'grey' shade wheels; they did look rather grand. Not black and not silver, rather smart ... and expensive looking!

Black wheels are cool. End of. And screw resale. I'm buying to enjoy it for myself, not for some scrote to enjoy it 3 years down the line. :wink:

Who cares about the resale value of your wheels!?!? You buy a car to drive and have fun with - not to worry about selling years down the line. If you worried about resale, then you wouldn't buy a new car in the first place!
I'm a big fan of black wheels... but I agree with Mac7 that they have to be on a contrasting colour like white / silver / red. I've said it before, but I'm not convinced about black wheels with rising blue. Its just too dark a colour to have the contrast.

^^^^Agreed :rolleyes:

I think it works. Usually I think dark colours don't work, but I love the look of the black 19" on RB. ETTO. :afro:

Any thoughts Black with Black alloys is it too much?

There are a few photos of black with black in the 'Has Anyone Got a Build Date For An R' thread. It looks VERY aggressive and stealth like!! I think it looks cool, but I wouldn't want to own it as it is a bit too much.

I agree it looks very agressive and stealthy .... my wife just looked over my shoulder and commented how nice it looked- i showed her the black R with silver wheels but she prefers the black on black!
I would have bet my savings that she wouldn't have liked the black on black and i would have lost it all, this is one of the main reasons i didn't get black on black or black on rising blue....... DOH :embarassed:

No, not if you're a drug dealer :tongue:
