Leave them bright, just refurb them and take off the merc centre caps and they'd look sweet on a black mk3.

Anthracite might make them look a bit cheap.

Could look good... maybe a bit bling - each to there own mate anyway.

If you think it looks good - do it!

leave the centres on ftw.

dont forget you will need adaptors to make them fit..... 5x112 and they can cost a fair wack alone.

i've considered these wheels a few times but every time i've weighed them up its gonna cost around 5-600 notes  :undecided:

That could work, or go white but becareful with white can make it look at bit chavy!

Yer, but with a couple subtle white mods, like badges or something it can work.

I would say polished but will probs get charged a bomb to have them polished up properly... although might be the same price as spraying tbh. Would need to see if there is any kerbing on the wheels as the polishers can't really get rid of really bad kerbing.
