Title: Advice needed on wheel colour
Post by: Adam-golf on March 03, 2014, 08:53:42 pm: I'm getting my 3sdm's powder coated on Saturday, I have sort of found a colour but I'm not 100% sure it's gona look right.
So here's a really old pic of my car

Only difference now is it has gti bumpers, side skirts, spoiler and soon to be r32 rears. Not sure if this will make much difference on wheel colour or not?

So here's the wheels, excuse the dirt,

And here's the colour I'm thinking of getting them done (also front gti lipstick and the backing of the rear badge,

Any help is greatly appreciated even if a different colour is suggested

A lot of people have said to keep them silver. I just don't think they look that great on my car

Dark anthracite would look good I think!

May have to look at a few examples to get an idea of what it would look like!

Just my opinion? Theres a bronze 350z at work with bronze wheels and it looks unreal

a black bog standard golf with bronze wheels won't look good IMO

Post by: Adam-golf on March 04, 2014, 03:07:59 pm: Bog standard ? Youve read this thread pretty well then

If I waiste my money then tbh it won't bother me as much as it would if I went for a basic colour and i didn't like it
