What do people think....good idea or not?

Anyone got a picture of either powercoated original 17"s or aftermarket alloys to help me decide.

cheers

My opinion, no.
Leave it for the guys with red cars.
Although front grille painted black looks nice.

I agree, I think BLACK wheels are a little OTT.

Maybe some anthracite wheels could look better?

...and Mart you're right... black grills looks sexy

nlsea

I couldnt spell anthracite any pics anybody?

I have a black milotec grill and agree very nice

I think we must have similar tastes anthracite on a black car isn't too much, although for a minute i did think about the gold but they are just too garish.

too much scooby wannabe imo. anthracite looks good but in pics they tend to just look like there covered in brake dust.

i think silver works well on the black octy.

black make it look to nightrider esque which is 80s and thus uncool.

Just a quick explanation for the 'new' users of Briskoda who don't know the car's history...

I bought that car (it's my previous octy, follow the link in my signature for my current one) from our local Skoda dealer on the agreement that they would respray those (awful) gold wheels in silver. Which they did *after* I took delivery. When I used the powerwasher a few times on the wheels, the silver flaked off, so I then brought the wheels to a proper shop, which did them in anthracite (on my request of course). In hindsight I should have stuck to silver as it does go well with black, but at least I didn't have to worry about cleaning them

I dont think so. Dark car needs light coloured alloys so they stand out, i think they look bigger too but if your wheels are black they look like they not even there

jus my opinion lol

Dan Walton

Do it! I love black wheels, I know someone said it'll make your car look like KITT, which is gay, but Robocop wasn't gay and his car looked badass!
