Alex, Hurdy, Jim, Martin - Bought any BBS wheels yet?
Yes. CS-5s in Silver.

Congratulations.
We've got them at a damn good price.

Jim: I can fully understand your difficulty in choosing between Anthracite and Black. I kept going back and forth between these two myself. I am leaning more and more towards the Anthracite. No, I definitely prefer the Anthracite from these two.

Personally, Silver CS-5s with your silver car will look A1 Ace and they will be cheaper.

What I need is some really clever b@stard to do something with Photoshop and show me what all three types look like on a Silver Mk6  :kiss:

I agree, you need to see to decide. Important as these wheels are not cheap and you have to live with your choice.
Perhaps Martin can help. He Photoshopped like mad a few months ago.
Or, maybe you can start a thread asking for such help. I think it would produce the required results.

I know, just the person!
PM Horney. He's a genius with Photoshop.  :smiley:

Does this help?

Silver CHs available in 17x7.5 ET50 for you for £1003.20. But the CKs are much better looking and smallest size is 18x8 and ET44 and much cheaper.  :smug:

But you'll never change from those sad lookIng 17" Monzas.  :tongue:
