Pics of Gti on 19 inch Prets (oem or CM Wheels versions) please

Further to my post below, I just wondered if anyone has changed their GTI wheels to Pret style 19's and have any pics they can share please?
 
All the better if they are the silver rims on a black car.

Thinking of going that route, and it would be useful to see what they look like on the car. I did a search on here and found pics of CM Wheels gunmetal versions on a red car and thought they looked really good.

Cheers

Have a look at autotrader, all CSS will have them

Also some TCRs have gloss black Prets.

The CM Wheels silver Prets are very bright silver.
They’re a completely different shade to the blue-grey OEM spec wheels.
There were a few pics of them fitted to R’s when I last visited VWROC which was quite some time ago.
They don’t look great IMHO.

The gunmetal coloured CMW Prets look good and will hide brake dust well.
Again, they’re a very different shade to the OEM R/CS/CSS Pretorias.

Thanks, that's useful to know. Would you say the grey Cmw wheels are darker or lighter in grey/gunmetal colour than the oem grey Pret wheels you commonly see on Golf R's? With my GTI being black, I don't want the wheels to be too dark against the black paintwork.

Thanks

Link to grey / gunmetal 19” replica Prets on CMWheels website that you can compare to any pictures of the genuine article you’ve found;

IMO they wouldn’t look too dark on a black car, but we all like different things, so only you can really decide if you think they’d be too dark on your GTI.

Ok, they’re totally different shades of actual grey but going on the light scale for reasons of comparative shade light/darkness using VW Golf grey paint choices as a guide: CMW silver would be like Reflex Silver, OEM Pretoria silver would be like Tungsten, CMW grey like Indium and obviously black is black!
Or does that confuse even more?

No that's fine - appreciate you trying to help.

My dilema is not helped by be me being colour blind! 😀
