what colour wheels?
« on: 19 January 2013, 16:58 »
Getting my wheels refurbed as soon as I can afford it. I'm pretty torn on what colour to go for. I'm kinda liking the blue/black theme at the moment. But I think black wheels would be too much. I'm thinking dark grey/anthracite or shadow chrome. Here's the car at the moment.



Any opinions?

Don't do black personally I hate black rims, what about something a bit lary have seen pink rims on that colour mk4 before n it looked good but I'm not sure I could roll around on pink rims!! Green n orange also looks good, white always looks good on blue if you didn't want anything lary but want to change the colour

I'm going through a very similar situation at the moment, having just bought some 2nd hand Monza Shadows for my black GTD.  Can't help but want to do something a bit different, (though I'm going to attempt to do it myself).

I would agree with white though, I think that would look great on your car.  Or Gold?  :cool:

(Surely there are some photoshoppers here who could edit your image to give you an idea what it would be like?  I had a go, but I've got limited skills in this area.  The front wheel came out okay in white, but I couldn't get my selection tool to properly select the back wheel to edit that.)

White doesnt look too bad actually, was gonna have a go at doing get refurb myself too. But the wheels are quite badly curbed. The only reason I bought them was because they came with 5 brand new tires that were worth more than what I paid for the wheels! Gonna heve to try my hand at photoshopping a few different colours.

Sounds very much like what I used to do many moons ago...often got alloys, with decent wheels, off an auction site or the FreeAds, for cheaper than a new set of tyres.

If you can't get on too well with photoshop, go to Google Images and have a search.  I wanted to know what Black or Grey Monza Shadows would look like on a Black Golf, and there are plenty of examples.

Nice, but while I do like Anthracite Alloys, your car colour is great and I think that colour looks a bit...I dunno...dull.  You want something with more "pop" I reckon.

Gold!


Or colour-coordinated blue!
