not a fan tbh, the white blends into the silver too much, when i first opend the thread i thought the whole alloy had just been primed, however, may be more bold in real life and it could just be the pic, also may like the look of it on the car, tbh though those alloys suit a mk4 so cant really think of any colour that wouldnt look good.  :smiley:

Will look ace fitted but lots of elbow grease required in keeping them clean.
Title: Re: what you think!!!!
Post by: vwblackmk4gti on 01 January 2012, 20:17
indeed, when I bought the alloys (9 months ago lol) the guy said that he'd paint them any colour i wanted. So its abit of a gamble as you guys know a wheel can make or break a vehicle's looks. But colour could always be changed.

I won't be putting them on until next weekend as my front tyres won't be delivered until wednesday. And I work in Warwickshire Mon - Fri, But I will upload pictures as soon as I put them..

Fingers Crossed heyyy.....

Post by: GTI:Gibbo on 01 January 2012, 20:37
Yes I like them.. But as mentioned would be a job keeping them look nice.

just put a decent sealent on them , I have them and weekly cleaning is so much easier now  :smiley:
Title: Re: what you think!!!!
Post by: vwblackmk4gti on 01 January 2012, 22:03
what type of sealant do you suggest  :smiley:
Title: Re: what you think!!!!
Post by: gm8 on 01 January 2012, 22:08
collinite 845 (a wax , but does great job on wheels) , poorboys wheel sealant , planet polish seal and shine , autofinesse mint rims . Or for an expensive initial layout gtechnic C5 will give about a years protection. With a decent sealant applied the dirt washes off easily.
Title: Re: what you think!!!!
Post by: vwblackmk4gti on 01 January 2012, 22:11
thanks for the advice, that is a must as they are painted white :cool:
Title: Re: what you think!!!!
Post by: gm8 on 01 January 2012, 22:12
no probs , any of the the above will keep your wheels looking mint , and make cleaning a damn sight easier !!

its already lowered 40mm,,

 :shocked:

You sure?

prob just fitted the alloys and not moved the car yet, needs to move for the shocks to settle

looks very good, got my white alloys to fit when the weather gets better and i was worried how it would look
Title: Re: what you think!!!!
Post by: vwblackmk4gti on 07 January 2012, 19:34
I will take a few better pic's tomorrow as i've been busy all day.

Yes its a 40mm drop on G-Max springs and shocks,,(been on the car since i had it)

yeah that was my concern going with a white alloy but it does make then stand out, especially on a black car..
Title: Re: what you think!!!!
Post by: vwblackmk4gti on 08 January 2012, 10:57
I do agree it needs to be lowered abit more than 40mm...
