Mine are painted Rover titanium grey or something like that....and I beleive it does make the wheels look very different  :undecided: (luckily I refurbed them while I was at it...)

leave the indicators, there different. But if you can darken them to blend with the paint work then that would look better. Tint then like you did the headlights and mayb they will look even better, but as kells said smoked OEM FTW.

As for my vote - black! but i guess you dont really want black as you changed them to silver from black! So if i had vote something else, then choose a unique color and go with it. A subtle color is best, but maybe something you dont see much on a mk3. Obviously not bright yellow, or anything chavvy like that, but a any dark color may look awesome!! but the safe option is the plain colors - black, grey, silver, white; always work well.

crystal = chav

go OEM (which on my wings are a smoked)

or failing that just darkened ones, like boneybradley has on his

goddam! again!!  :laugh:

(btw - for those that don't know I went down the crystal route)

keep your wheels silver or maybe a different slightly darker shade or silver

lol sh!t, sorry about that, but i have always said, i think your car is the only one i have seen that pulls of the crystal light thing...i dont know why it works on yours but it does, and i really aint a fan of them as you well know, but i dont think anything else would work for you like the set up your running, so all is good, genuinly mean that, you know me by now i just say it how it is :wink: :cool:
