The darker definitely do it for me.

Whilst mine's white, (and a GTI) I'm sure it gives you an idea of darker wheels on a Mk7 Golf...



Can't remember the exact name but is the German ebay seller Reifen (can't remember the last name) - the contact I had was a bloke called Stefan who was very helpful and spoke beeter than average english. If so, they were spot on with me.

Edit - let me know if the photo worked as I can't see it from work.

Yes mate that's exactly who the eBay seller is, been in contact wif Stefan, so Thankyou for the reassurance, very much appreciated indeed :grin:

BTW that car looks leathel :cool:

If I could have afforded them I'd have gone for CH's too - the SR's that I have are considered the 'budget' BBS wheel and as such are heavier than the CH's but I just love the way they look!

My only proviso is that they may take a few days longer than they quote for postage and the 2 packages (of 2 wheels each) turned up on different days (with parcel force) but if you're in no major rush, it's no problem - just saves you panicking if they don't turn up when expected.

Love this style of wheel, yours looks class Gnasher, I'd go with the darker set, especially on a white car.

i have never been a fan of silver wheels, anthracite all the way and the BBS are a classic

I think you need to ditch the chrome mirrors and lip

I never had chrome mirrors, black caps from factory.
Although I would like the front lip wrapped!!

I'd go with the the Anthracite with TR, especially if you've got black mirrors.  :cool:  Don't like brilliant silver wheels much and even less so on Red.
