Hi

I’m looking at a set of Brescia wheel and see Cm Wheels do them in gun metal instead of black.

Being dark grey they might hide swirl marks that black show up.
They would be going on my black mk7.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

They look great, definitely would be better than a brake dust point of view as well.

Really like these Reifnitz style ones in 18's as well.

They look good in Gun Metal, i think they would work well with Black.

I’m guessing 18’ to 18’ would be a straight swap? What about centre caps?

The CM Wheels reps don’t take the standard caps, most owners have to source them from eBay.

They don't! Why would they do that? :huh:

It's a common problem unfortunately! A few of us have bought Polo centre caps as they are slighlty smaller to fit the aftermarket alloys.
