Black GTi/ED30 with Black Ultraleggeras
« on: April 25, 2010, 10:05:20 pm »
Hi Guys,

What are people's thoughts of black alloys on a black GTi/ED30?  Too hardcore?  :confused:

On my previous white mini i had black wheels.  I think it's a colour combo that works well but am unsure if black on black is a little too much.

Quite like the OZ Ultraleggera's as a 2nd set of alloys.  I'd stick with 18s but i think they either do 7 or 8 width.  Would it be better to opt for the 8 width in terms of grip?  

Does anyone have any pics of a GTi/ED30 with these on; preferably a black GTi/ED30?

Anyone owned a set and would recommend them?

You shouldn't really be asking a bunch of strange men on tinternet what you should do. If you like it then do it, its not like your putting on 22in chrome spinners.

For you to pull off any look you have got to be confident in your own choices.  :drinking:

I know...i tried asking a bunch of strange women and they replied by asking whether i wanted to carry my balls home in a hat!  :scared:

Agree...agree...but i pose the question because i'm a little unsure.  I also welcome anyone's experience of whether they tried this and it didn't quite work, perhaps titanium might be better, blah de blah blah.  :rolleye:

Pics would be good as well if anyone has them.  :happy2:

Think black is the only colour that black alloys work imo, I do love the ones on here with a red lip on them as well though.Look the nuts!

Like these:
http://www.topgear.co.uk/acatalog/4x_18_Inch_Team_Dynamics_Pro_Race_1.2S_Black_Red_Lip_Alloy_Wheels_With_225_40_18_tyres.php

Quite shocked at how much cheaper Team Dynamics are than OZ alloys.  Would make a good second set at half the price.  :smiley:

For some reason - and don't ask me to justify this opinion! - I really don't like the red-lipped, or silver-lipped rim on black alloys... sorry for those who have it like that!

Go for it though, it's your car; do as you wish.  :happy2:

Much like these?  :happy2:




I very much fancy a set myself although I want about 5 sets of rims  :chicken: I think on aftermarket suspension though the OZ UL look the business  :party:
