Marmite Wheels
« on: 13 December 2009, 16:57 »
Some of you will love 'em, some of you will hate 'em.

Ladies and Gentlemen let me introduce my new winter wheels:




A set of genuine Black Detroits, so OEM enough to please the GTI purists, different enough to please people who don't want their car looking standard (ie. me) but standard enough to not be too obvious, oh, and they're black enough to not please anyone who doesn't like black wheels.
Both my cars now have my trademark black wheels.  :kiss:

Please excuse the poor photo location, but really it was far too cold to drive somewhere photogenic and roll about in a ditch trying to be arty.........

Marmite is rank...
Black on silver looks good!!  :cool:

Not really a monza fan - but they do look better in black.
Suits the car well.

If these are your winter wheels - what are your regular ones?!

I like CH's - but I think the winter wheels actually suit the car better...

Not that my opinion is biased by the fact I've ordered a silver car with black wheels  :shocked:
