you asked for colours. orange is a colour that looks good against black ,i wont dare suggest white after the stick i had about white wheels.lol. unless what you mean by colour is silver ,gunmetal,polished or shadow chrome im sure you will be likely to get suggestions like orange etc as they are what you asked for by asking for 'colour' suggestions.

If you give us a pic of your car I could do some photoshops of some colours for you if you like.

Not the best chops but you get the idea. I'm a real sucker for white wheels on a black car. I think the orange could look good too.

Title: Re: opinnions on colour
Post by: mowlamb on 09 March 2011, 17:17: don't want much do ya :rolleyes:

By OEM you mean just the standard finish, i.e just the colour of the alloy in the pic you posted?

dave i think you should give me r32's lol
wazz i thought about doing them myself but college close quoted 120 refurdb and painted
its either black or anthracite,
the only thing with the rim tape is i dont have an edge or groove for the tape to sit in if you get what i mean,
ok can someone photoshop those wheels in black with a red rim and with rim tape on the centre caps :smiley:
Title: Re: opinnions on colour
Post by: Dave_IOW on 12 March 2011, 11:12: Wheres college close pal? That seems a good price including a refurb :wink:

Mine need a couple of bits filling, i was going to put 2part resin in and sand down and paint over :laugh: :grin:

Antracite all the way pal, looks classy and works against any car colour :smiley:
Title: Re: opinnions on colour
Post by: bricey on 12 March 2011, 12:19: college close is in sandown the place is behind the seat dealership :smiley:

old link http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=150943.msg1381958#msg1381958

i too thought of orange and it would look good just depends on what u like. I ended up going white but remember it will look better if you end up getting it lowered m8.

Post by: Wazzzer on 12 March 2011, 17:47: I still say black with red rim tape :wink:
