Title: a bit like marmite.. love or hate :)
Post by: PeteGTI1990 on 08 December 2012, 13:18
After rolling on standard gti wheels on my mk4 1.8t i decided on a new set of wheels.. I got some 6 spoke tt wheels. But they are white and my car is silver... I was going to repaint them but after trail fitting them to see if they needed spacing out anymore i kind of think they suit the car quite well.. Whats everyones opinions??

Works quite well but keeping them looking that clean will be fun!  :tongue:

Indeed especially with this weather haha.. Might keep them like it for a while but unsure on what colour to do them next?

Not a fan tbh mate. Black would look good, but also done to death. Anthracite would be my choice.  :cool:

Anthracite has been bone to death aswell... And sticker was on the car when i got it not taken it off yet.. Also need a front splitter as mine is missing.. Thinking about lowering it a little and a turbo back exhaust.

Not a fan, is that not a different colour of sliver above to the first car?

To much blue in the OP's car I feel for it to work.

Decided I'm keeping them white as its different.. It will take some work to keep them clean but I think it will be worth it. Just need to space the rears out by 10 or 15mm and lower it a bit.

Slap some wax on them should help in keeping them clean.
