Dont think it looks good with the red calipers, and better served as a colour contrast e.g. Anthracite wheels on white Golf.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

I'm not even keen on dark/black wheels on a white car like the Golf GTI.  I think for me it's the fact that with the black tyres the entire wheel can get lost and gives the whole car a strange look.

Hello everyone  :smiley:

These are some pictures from moto-talk.de. I think that on white GTI looks really nice. I consider those alloys for winter.

Excellent pics, thanks for sharing!

Tempted by these still, I agree with dark wheels getting lost somehow but with the Carbon grey body it will have a stealth look to it which I kind of like.

Yup, look awful on the white GTI, but actually suit the GSG quite nice because of the similarity in colour.  Nice if you want that stealthy look, but on a small hatchback like this...nah, save that for the cars that can pull it off properly! :grin:

Think they look great. Your looking at a couple of grand though, is that correct? Could be a very nice set of winter wheels

Lol, i think the complete opposite! I don't think dark wheels suit dark cars.

I quite like the current VWR wheels which are quite similar to the above:

Although the set that Ess-three has are my favourites and i'd love to get my hands on a set!! >:D
