What colour alloys?

[golf nutter]

I have a reflex silver metallic 3 door and wanted some recommendations/advice regards alloy colour on the car.

Not sure if black/anthracite/silver is best...looking at a BBS RC type design in 18" or something similar if some suggestions can be made please . 


thanks.

I think dark grey with a coloured wheel centre, something like red in the middle.

Charcoal/Anthracite

black on the inside, silver on the out!

Can't go too far wrong with silver but i can appreciate that it's a bit run of the mill, nevertheless with the right design silver will always look classy. Darkest i would go on a reflex silver is anthracite but again you need the right design imo, some just won't look right.

Black all the way !

got any photo examples?  have pretty much discounted black as tyre and wheel just blend together which i dont think looks right.  anthracite i can understand.  i had in mind some bbs rc type styles.

Nigel, have you looked in the Silver golf pic thread? Loads of sample pics in there (including my old car on 19"BBS Black editions) 

Here you go.

I personally thought black was too harsh against a Silver GTI - I went for an anthracite finish during my refurb last weekend:-




I haven't really had a chance to get a "full car" pic because it's been p1ssing rain here since I picked it up, but I'll get you one tonight, if it helps?

Similar to mine Here's a pic of mine with anthracite Monza II's. This is a pic off the dealers site, only picked her up beginning of last week, will be taking more pics soon as soon as I've done a couple of small cosmetic mods.

I think darker alloys work really well on Reflex Silver.

Anthracite!

Regret getting black! 

for the reason i mentioned earlier?

No, I keep on top of my wheel dressings lol.

I find they marr and micro scratch very easily

must admit I like the wheels on Hurdy's car...even if they are black!    they do suit it very well.  after posting this thread i found the silver car thread...i am thinking silver again after thinking anthracite would be a good compromise!!  aaargghhh...it's such a big decision and i dont want to make a mistake.  if we have any budding photoshoppers on here let me know if you want to have a go with mine please.

thanks for the help guys.
