Black the BBSs or not? I dunno, help!
« on: 04 February 2009, 01:24 »
Alright boys, well, I have decided some point this year I'm going to get my wheels refurbished as they are in dyer need of one, but at the same time, I don't know if I should have them silver or go for black with a polished lip? I just had a mess around in Photoshop and came up with this, now if the lip was properly polished, I reckon they'd look sweet. What do you all think?

I prefer the silver too. Suits the green really well.
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

I have to say I prefer those wheels silver....BUT, on your car the black works really well, matches the black light surrounds & smoked indicator cluster.

I think do it! :afro:

Holy sh!t, did you just compliment a Mk3? :P Thanks Chuff, I reckon you're just saying that because I made you a sig ;) I'm really undecided on what to do, because I've seen black alloys on Dragon Green Mk3s and I think they look sweet but I'm not sure if the BBS look would look good or not...for God sake lol!

 :grin: trust  me,  if it was sh!te i would say  :laugh: and it really is down to you, but a photochop AINT allus a good basis to go on,

+ think of resale, you will shift a silver set a lot easier  :wink:

That's a good point about the resale, I'm probably gonna leave them, just get them looking new again :)

Wow I REALLY like that. Suits the car really well, suits the smoked theme. With the silver lip too...  :drool:

Don't go for black but dark grey with a polished lip.
