I'd personally go for the oem silver I think you lose detail the darker the colour especially on multi spoke like those

^^^^
Those Merc alloys are a very design indeed and should suit your Golf, except......... [you did say you welcome comments!]............

....Except for the Mercedes badge. Having a Mercedes, Audi, Bentley :sick:, or different brand of car wheel looks ostentatious in my opinion. It's not much different from putting a Rolls-Royce radiator on the front of a car which isn't a Rolls - Just not quite so in-yer-face, but.

Fortunately not everyone agrees with me so you can do as you wish  :happy2: No insults etc meant - I'm just being totally honest in my opinion.

They are a really attractiove design.  :happy2:

Tidy motor my friend, those merc wheels are certainly gonna look different, keen to see them on. I disagree with RR though, having the badges from prestige car companies can only be good, keep em on  :happy2:

Hi mate, cars looking nice cant wait till you get the wheels on (bet u cant wait either lol)

Are those LEDS's in your lights (i think normally where the indicator works from)?? or have you changed the bulb or something?



The ones above

Thank you all for the comments I cant wait to get them on been sitting here for ages now... RR i did say all comments welcome so no harm done  :happy2:

Now for the colour im not telling   :P

thanks again... i have swapped the 501 bulbe for an LED one... that about it  :smiley:


UPDATE…   :jumping:
 

So I booked the Alloys in for refurb, sourced all the tyres so all being well they should be back in a mid next week
 
After going to Holland/MIVW last year Ive had a vision of what I want my motor to look like, Im going down the USA look, so I bought some bits , a front US bumper with markers, US Number plate holder, US rear bumper, and hopefully a certain person will return my US lower gti valance hint hint......
 
I also dropped the car to the bodyshop last night to have some work carried out,  Front & Rear USA bumpers sprayed n fitted, Edition 30 Side skirts, having Mirrors painted black, A Pillars painted black, Something different on the Front no plate grill, Arches rolled n pulled slightly, Repaint calipers and my favourite, a Vortex Front splitter.
 
So all in all should look quite different when its all put together.


This is what got delivered today…  :grin:

Isle 6 I think... :signLOL:
Same thing I said to my brother when he sent me the pic...  :smiley:

So i thought I pop by my mates bodyshop to see progress and drop off rear bumper... He has started stripping the golf but think he got bored as he was working on his CLS....    :confused:

Few mates turned up started so thought we polish up the speedlines we bought for my brother car as the lips we bad...
