Like Matty, I prefer the OEM look of Vancouvers, but if I didn't know how they originally looked, I'd say they looked good...in the photos. I can't help thinking that 6 hours and £80 isn't going to give as new results on closer inspection.

Not Vancouvers obviously, but these are a set of BBS RA's having had the Lepsons treatment.





Honestly mate, for £80 they are superb, they are really good quality!!!!!!! I can understand why you would think that though, the porsche on the picture with my car had exactly the same treatment and they are immaculate (hense why I had mine done) The guy is trying to make a name for himself and £80 for all 4 and really good quality is giving him alot of custom through word of mouth....

Would you put BBS Ra's on a mk6 GT TDI? Don't get me wrong, on a lowered GTI they'll look good, I just don't know if they would suit my car ?!

Oh, I like that. Shadow Blue with dark (but not black) wheels...awesome.
But then I would say so...I've gone the same way on my Mk5 GT  :grin:

Love those BBS Wheels!!! But then again, I'm quite happy with my wheels for the minute ;) Especially after the paint job!

The calipers are getting painted this weekend, now... I'm not sure what colour to go for, I've got white at the minute, on the front only because I wanted to see what they would look like, and I've got yellow (not just rubbish yellow it's like the MEGANE RS yellow) what do you all think will look good with these wheels and the colour of the car? Personally I'm feeling yellow, what do you think???

Either black or original silver. Anything too standoutish will draw more attention to the tiny brakes.
