Another photo of mine after playing around in photoshop darkening the interlagos wheels  :wink:



Guess what Maw, I like those interlagos now, in the black they just look right.  What is it about white cars and black wheels, they just look so good.  Don't reckon a black car would look great with white wheels though.

Well knock me down with Asker's feather duster, they've got the gizzy seal of approval  :shocked:

They do look absolutely stunning in that photo against the white paintwork, Martin. Gives the car a real tough street fighter look  :evil:

The Interlagos pioneer approves :grin: Don't think they'd look very nice on my Carbon Grey paintwork, but on white they're great.

Thanks for the great comments guys..... it seems black or a very dark anthracite is the way to with these then on a CW car.

I'm also glad to have finally won over Gizzy on these.

Well if we get some good weather over the weekend, I'm going to put the Monza's back on and take the interlagos wheels into Wheelworks, in Crawley to be powder coated.

Thanks again  :smiley:

Hi MAW from the Ritz in Madrid!
Don't make them too dark. I think they will look the business. As good as the Monzas at last! Well nearly!

Hi amw1.... I'm going to go for a a very dark anthracite...
i.e. as these wheels on a Mk5 http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,10651.15.html

The Ritz in Madrid sounds very flash.....  I hope you've saved enough luggage space to bring home a nice new red bumber in case you happen to see one on your travels  :laugh:

+1. Black won't look so good, IMO.

Thanks guys for the input ( and sorry if I bored you all with this ). My minds finally made up, I'm going to go for a medium dark anthracite shine finish  :wink:
