Has anyone tried gold wheels like an Evo?  Might look quite good.

That did cross my mind, but not on a silver golf. Maybe it would look good on a blue or black car?

FCUK it, gloss black it is!

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Black makes the tyres look grey, unless you have a silver or red rim like Phil has (or love applying tyre gel). So for dark wheels I think anthracite is better. But I'd paint them silver and do the recesses in black or anthracite like the 18's

Aerocoat did these. close to where i live so didnt worry about a carrier wrecking them.

looking around £240 for the set & this includes sorting any kurb scuffs etc.

Bargain i thought as vw wanted £380 for just one replacement wheel!
