Prefer the grey. Only other colour I'd probably go for with a silver/grey car would be a darker grey or gloss black. :happy2:

Wow those are statement wheels alright!  :congrats: I personally prefer a gloss black rim on a steel grey car but if i had to choose a candy red wheel it would definitely be the lighter shade.  :happy2:

I wouldn't have the balls to have candy red alloys on my GTI but out of those two I would go with the darker red :happy2:

I agree with patrick the dark red matches the rear lights better.... but the light red matches the brake calipers better.... think i'd go with the darker red if it was my choice  :happy2: look forward to pics when you get them done and on the car  :popcornsoda:

so dark red seems to be winning out of the two reds, majority of people have said that as well

Think the darker red would suit a white or black car, but I went with the grey for your car.
