wheel colour choice?
« on: 06 September 2012, 23:35 »
i have bought some bbs wheels to go on my silver mk3 gti and have had them blasted ready for paint, but i am not sure what colour to go for. i was thinking like a darkish grey, kinda like a graphite colour but not really sure what to go for, all i know is i dont really want to go for black. anyone got any snaps of any silver cars with nice alloys? or ideas..

I would have black with silver rims (polished ideally)

Check out Ess-Three's silver 16v Anni. He's running BBS RX2 alloys with anthracite centres and silver rims which look awesome.

Cheers lad!!  :grin:

My centres are classed as 'Steel Grey' powdercoat, with bright silver rims.


This is the anthracite powdercoat (I know it's not silver, or a Mk3)

When your engine looks like his, you might get some praise one day..

What bbs alloys are they?

The split rims or just plain VR6 ones? If they are then I think gunmetal grey would look best.

If they're the split rims (RX II's or whatever they're called) then grey with silver rim me thinks!
