My Poundland reading glasses are in the other room.



Toss a coin for it.

Then get grey.
(Or black)

Black if you fit black mirror covers
(Or grey)

I've never been keen on black wheels. For me you lose all the detail of the wheel and there's no contrast. I also think you have to keep the tyres tip top or they look grey or washed out.

I'd go gun metal but that's just my taste  :smiley:

White wheels :shocked: - a bit to chavvy for my taste, and they’d be a magnet for brake dust. VW do a white version of the Motorsport alloy for the Polo though.

How about bronze as an alternative? Forum member Sandtrap had a set of bronze Revo RV019 on his black GTI and IMO they looked really good.

I love the OE silver colour of Pretorias.


Black wheels usually look a bit tacky / chavvy.

Lol, you are collector or something?

PS. I just realized they are the 18" cast variant. I was thinking about them when I could not find any used 19" but in the end that 19" set went on sale for the same price I would pay for a set of brand new 18" ~ 12500sek.
