Black wheels on Rising Blue Metallic Mk 6 Golf R
« on: 18 January 2010, 11:49 »
So - as the confirmed build date for my Golf R nears - I've still yet to find real photos of a Mk 6 Golf R in Rising Blue Metallic with the Gloss Black 19" alloys.

I was hoping a real photo would make my mind up - as I'm still not 100% on the blue/black combination. I may switch to Silver 19" alloys which are less contentious.

I've done a photochop:



And the new BMW M3 Coupe is available in a similar configuration (which I like):



I appreciate the black wheels may draw more (unwanted) attention to the car. But that doesn't bother me.

So, go ahead cast your vote and help an indecisive man out!

EDIT:

New photochop:

A real 5 door in the showroom:

Silver Alloys on blue looks nicer imo.

black, FTW!  :smiley:

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?

Maybe on a silver car but they just don't do it for me on the blue. Standard colour wheels look better

Black wheels only work on three colours:

-White
-Black
-Grey

Even then, they're still seriously Chav and you'll look ridiculous if you're over the age of 25. With Rising Blue, I strongly suggest you get the silver 19" alloys.

IMHO.

Golf R - almost on order - 5-door, DSG, Rising Blue, leather, 19" alloys, RNS510 with Dynaudio, ACC, Sunroof, Parking camera and sensors, luxury pack and cruise control.

Not convinced about black on blue... I hope it looks good (after your long wait!), but I still think the blue is too dark for the black to contrast like it should.
Personally I'd go with silver on rising blue.
Golf R... 3 door, DSG, Leather, Reflex Silver, Black 19" Talladega Wheels, ACC, Parking Sensors, RNS510 with Dynaudio, Reverse Camera, Luxury Pack, Cruise Control & Fiscon Bluetooth.

That's alright - because I'm 21 (in my head).
