Wheel colours

[sammyboy92]

Right, I've got a dragon green 3dr mk3 gti and I've just bought a set of 16" rh cups , however they have been rattle canned a dodgy colour - done badly so I'm gonna get them sand blasted and re sprayed , problem I'm having is deciding on a colour , not much goes with dark green , gold can look good but is abit risky, I was thinking along the silvery/ anthracite colour , but I kinda want something abit differant , anyone have any ideas or pictures that might help !?!?

That is a very nice mk3 and the gold does look good- although I've promised myself I'm not getting polished lips - after having two sets their too much work given I drive down sh!t up roads every day ! Also - how has it gone so low at the front - I want mine that low - I need to take my 17's off ASAP !!

Take helpers out of coilovers to wind them down even more. Thats also a 195 40 16 tyre on 8j rim.

Them lips are stainless steel. Take a bashing and will stays nice and shiny with no work.

definitely Gold



The lips on mine are lacquered

That would look a lot nicer if it was lower.

Except I wouldn't be able to drive the thing if it was any lower.

It scrapes on the entrance/exit to our close as it is now so I reckon that's low enough

Gold is a good shout,  I just done my bbs completely white centres and lips

There not on the car till the weekend so won't know if it looks good till then haha

Gold and White were two of my first ideas ! Slightly differant but related question, the rims are 7 1/2 j wide - would 165/40/ tyre fit with a nice bit of stretch or would they be too much of a stretch ?
