Opinions needed!
« on: June 24, 2009, 06:09:27 pm »
As some of you may know I put my BBS CH from my last car on to my S3, however I am still not totally 100% convinced that they look right in black. I am thinking of changing them back to the original silver, is this a bad move or not? What do we think guys?

Pictures of the car:

That's what im thinking, there is a lot of silver detailing on the car and I think the black is clashing with it  :chicken:

i've seen countless deep blue pearl .:R32's with black rims... and not seen one that looks right yet! black rims on a blue car just dont contrast enough, they need to be silver or white......

edit: do you live on Ramsey street?

I just typed that they look spot on in black, but the more I look at the photos, the more I think a silver with a slight brushed effect (kind of like Robin's newly refurbished Monza II's) would look great!

I'm going to say the standard wheels with a anthracite inner and turned faces (ala monza II), don't know why I've seen them today on a couple of tt-s's and one s3 and they really have grown on.
If you have to ask why, you'll never understand.

Silver would look nice, the black looks really good and a nice polished Anthracite would be the mutz nutz if you ask me. I have to say tho that I really like the blue on black and would be tempted to colour code all the silver bits rather than change the wheels. Or alternatively donate them to worthy cause.........my car. The black would look spot on on the red! :signLOL:
