As they are im not a fan much prefer the ed30 OEM's, perhaps Anthracite is the answer ?

I think an inch bigger would have filled the arch better...ooohhhh eeerrrr!  :wink:

I like them but I think they need to be darker Carlo  :drool:

Yeah I think they would look alot better on ANY other colour GTi but Silver.

well I get my Pescara's back from Powdercoat Tomorrow, so they should look nice in Satin Black! I will get these alloys done in Anthracite later on in the year.... If I don't sell em first  :ashamed:

I like them myself. Anthracite is perhaps the way forward  :happy2:

Ps. What is the car lowered on? (and dont say springs  :grin: )

They are H&R's Mate  :happy2:

I think they will look a whole lot better in Anthracite

IMHO anthracite is something "between"...if you know what I mean.

Leave them hypersilver or go for blacks...

Something like this...

What wheels are they Monte?, they do look like the bimotos. I'd go for a dark anthracite maybe like the ones I had :smiley:

They are the bi-moto reps right?

They need to be an inch bigger carlo! lol they do look a little small, and painting them darker will only make them look smaller :(

Anthracite! Rim details in black get visually lost unless something like Huffs.

They look too ordinary as they are, imo - Sorry but there's no point giving you anything than an honest opinion.

Exactly what I'm after Robin  :happy2: I just keep thinking that those wheels in silver, on a silver car don't look sporty at all. They kinda remind me of the 16" alloys that you get on a TDi Golf  :ashamed:

They will def need a change of colour if I am to keep em  :wink:




The Best set of Gloss Black Alloys I have seen on a GTI.  :happy2:  I had to look twice, to check that they were 18's when I first saw them at Inters. The design makes em look huge!

I don't agree with you, Nath - Your black BBS looked 'lost' without the red edging and the distinctive Rocco wheel spokes look a bit wasted in black. But each to their own.

And I don't agree with you so  :P

I just feel the Gloss black picks up light and reflection far better than any silver could.  :happy2:
