vRS Alloy Colours

KTP · 16-04-2008, 10:35

i've seen enough cars with black/white/anthracite
how many people have something a little bit different?

i'm thinking of doing mine a colour, what colour, i haven't decided yet but green is playing on my mind. it may look utter **** or it may work, i think i will have to try it and see.

heres a couple of colours i was messing around with in photoshop...

what do yous think?

bobjim · 16-04-2008, 10:38

niether, go black or hyper black which is like anthracite

Johnny50 · 16-04-2008, 10:39

Hey Keith,

Green might be a little OTT

But at least it's different.

My next wheels will be anthracite, think it would look good against the red too.

Mine are a silver but with a small hint of baby blue. Think of the clio sport in silver colour

Johnny50 · 16-04-2008, 10:44

Sounds different...

Any pics ?

I like the yellow Keith, reminds me of clio alloys in a way

i'm still not too sure, i think if i do it green then i'll opt for a fairly dark shade so they dont clash with the calipers. but then lime green or kawasaki green stands out well

fletch555 · 16-04-2008, 11:01

Not keen on either tbh however if I had to choose, I would choose the gold over the green.

Johnny50 · 16-04-2008, 11:09

Why not !

You can always change them back if you dont like em !

Only one I can get my hands on

Sounds daft but I'm not going to bother with black wheels now every time SWMBO cleans them they look like brand new. Even after a few days driving the wheels still look shiny and clean.

i must admit, everytime i clean mine i think why bother changing the colour as they look pretty good the way they are.

Skodaboy1983 · 16-04-2008, 11:38

I think because the car gets abused and not washed from a week to two weeks and covering 600 miles in between washes I never actually see the silver apart from a wheel covered in brake dust!! Once their clean I just love the silver, still would do them in black at some stage.

Johnny50 · 16-04-2008, 11:41

I may just get mine refurbed in the meantime, but will probably go for anthracite, or get them matched to the car.

Not black, I think white would be awesome, but a b!tch to keep clean

Skodaboy1983 · 16-04-2008, 11:50

Oh yes white rally style wheels would suit your car Johnny!

Babs · 16-04-2008, 11:52
