Standard Fabia vRS alloys finished in white

Jon TDI · 14-02-2007, 19:05

Now that I'm using my standard alloys as winter wheels, I fancy treating them to a refurb once I put my TT Comps back on for the summer.
One is particlarly bad from a kerbing incident!

Always one to be a little different, I'm thinking of finishing them in gloss white.

Anybody else have them in white?

I know the Octavia WRC edition had the standard alloys in white, but I can't find any pics. Plus I want to know how they would look on a black Fabia.

IMO they would NOT match. But everyone to their own!!

I think they would look good , its a look I have been contemplating on my Dynamic Blue Fabia , I think white wheels work especially well on bright coloured cars , and buying a set of 2nd hand vRS wheels then having them powdercoated white would probably be cheaper than ordering a set of 16" Team Dynamics race wheels from Halfords in white (they charge an extra £40 for white)

I'm hoping someone could kindly photoshop a set of white alloys on a black vRS to confirm that................

Hmmmm, not sure about white wheels with a black car Jon.

Maybe a darker colour would look better?

Just my 2p.......

Gloss Candy white could work I think Jon. Someone can do an A1 photoshop though, to confirm - we have enough graphics type people on here

I think if they had a shine, they'd look

You'd need to do the brake calipers ( silver ? ) as well but would look good

SWSBO keeps saying I should get mine refurbed in white...........so she cant be wrong can she?

I think it would look ok, but ask one of the photoshop boffs to do a test for you.

Tom_vRS · 15-02-2007, 15:18

Yep, I think they'd look spot on in a bright white colour. Go for it.

Where's Leon and Skodalover when you need em?

P-A · 15-02-2007, 16:07

Not sure about white against a black car. I'd have thought white alloys would work best on a red vrs

I have always like anthracite. Been thinking of getting mine done? My friend, she has a silver 182 with anthracite wheels and i think they look nice! But then again, the standard coulor looks nice?

Have a set (one egged) of HT3 17" alloys that fit the 5 stud pattern - when I get them fixed I'll get them done in a nice anthracite - I to liked the smoked styling on the 182.

Warning rant starting.

- Apart from some gypos putting gold Renault badges on ANTHRACITE WHEELS - well up there with driving with fogs on, neon washers, wish list stickers on the wings - just stable a chuffing credit card receipt on there and worst of all dangly items hanging off the rear view mirror - I WANT MY CAR TO SMELL OF A BLUE DOLPHIN, WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT ISN'T LOGICAL?

WTF?! I think you need another drink Oliver!

Jon TDI · 15-02-2007, 23:18

Erm................. nothing I can say about that one!

My TT Comps are finished in Platinum Grey (light anthracite is anyone doesn't know of the colour). Just thought that finishing the standard alloys in white would be different.
Anyway, I've got a couple of months left before I take the winter wheels off for refurbing.
