Anyone got any pics of an Isaac Blue GTI with Seville wheels? Can’t find any on the forum

Awful. The seville's really are a nasty nasty wheel IMO.

EDITED - beaten to it by Kalimon.

They don't look great on that car to be fair.
Sell them on and get some some Borbet FF1 :wink:
Probably break even on the deal

Everytime I see those they make me think of 5 docked space shuttles, apologies to any owners...

These wheels look little bit lost against the darker colours. IMHO they suit white, red and tungsten cars best.

Saw a White Silver GTI recently with these wheels and thought they looked good. They’re a bit of a Marmite wheel; I like them and IMO the red ring around the edge goes well with the other red accents on the GTI. Just my opinion though. I wouldn’t want to clean them though as they’re quite an intricate design.
The big plus for me is they’d be much more durable than VW’s diamond cut alloys, so will go safely through the UK’s winter weather without succumbing to white worm corrosion. There’ll probably be quite a few examples of Parker, Santiago and Brescia diamond cut alloys with white worm when they get to 3 - 3.5 years old.

Thanks everyone. I’m not the biggest fan of them either if I’m honest, hence the reason for asking the question. However, I do like them better on that that colour than on white. My opinion but think they look bloody awful on white cars. My local garage has one in stock but it’s the only colour combo they have in a DSG (I’ve not been to see it yet) and My 340i goes in the next week so I need a car sharpish.
Just to add, it’s only to have the car six month as it’s on a Friends and family scheme.
This isn’t easy 😭

Every time I think of 5 docked space shuttles, I think of Moonraker- perhaps that should be the new name for them?

Please don’t insult Tungsten Silver again... :grin:
-
My own car is Tungsten with Seville's. I don't have the anthracite versions though as mine's a GTD.
There's nothing much wrong with the wheels IMHO, just that I find dark wheels clash a bit with dark paint.

No, they look absolutely fine in GTD spec but looks absolutely awful in GTI spec :sick:
-
I do have to agree, they’re not the best wheels in my opinion. If I’m honest, I only really like the Brescia and don’t mind the Santiago. The parkers are abit blah in my opinion also.
If I was buying the car it would have to be Brescia

Nail on head.
For a six month lease I’d happily run a set. They’re not going to pull the heartstrings when the car goes back and you’ll never have to worry about how dirty they might (not) look.
-
As above not my favourite wheel but what a great colour and for 6 months I’d run them- or try and negotiate a wheel swap.
