Silver rims and red centres look nice on white MK2's. Just had these done for mine.

Always paint wheels in a colour that can be easily sold on. No one wants to split them down again and paint them OEM to suit there car.

Anthracite (spelling) or sterling silver centres. Polished lip. Canne go wrong like.

Judging by the very first picture the wheels arent being split as there is primer over the bolts the lips the lot... OP please split and paint these properly they will last much much longer that way,  :whistle:

Silver. Anything else looks like you are trying too hard to get noticed.
