Wheel colour-advice (56k Go put the kettle on)

[RJM25R]

Hi all

I'm considering a set of Raceline RL7'S and can't decide what colour. I work at a VW Main Dealer so I can get them re-finished any colour I like. Black seems a little harsh to me.....

Please see pics and give me the benefit of your opinions......

gold is a little on the gay side... i mean clios only "just" get away with it as the car is uslly blue.

[andybishop]

Depends on the colour of the car too though, hmmm Anthracite on a black car.... i wonder....

[craig green]

[Stuart]

assumption based on the fact you posted pics not statiing "this wont be the colour of my car"

and to be fair if you dont knwo what colour the car will be how the hell can you chose the colour of the wheels? lol

[RJM25R]

Exactly. I just wanna know what colour people think looks best....

[Stuart]

then the pics and poll are arbitrary then lol.

as said, gold wheels - green car = blugh, blue car + gold wheels... tollerable etc lol

[Mike.]

Anthracite :thumb:

[Adam]

Either white, or Anthracite.

[RJM25R]

So Stu, you think that the gold wheels on the green car look w a n k then?

[Welsh Dan]

So Stu, you think that the gold wheels on the green car look w a n k then?

Compared to the other colours, I agree with him.

[Jack]

blue car + gold wheels... tollerable etc lol
You homo! Blue + gold = subaru = gay! lol

Depends on the colour/style of the car IMO... but you generally can't go far wrong with dark wheels...

[RJM25R]

What about if the car was white???? grey wheels/white car or white/white?

[Rich]

I like white/white but im biased towards my car :)

[Welsh Dan]

with a white car, either white or anthracite.

[Jules]

White car - black wheels
Red car - black wheels
Green car - black wheels
Blue car - black wheels
Orange car - black wheels
Pink car - black wheels
Brown car - black wheels

I think you can see where I'm going with this.....

[RJM25R]

OK Jules, what about black car??????

Oh yeah..... BLACK WHEELS!

[Jules]

Fo' shizzle my nizzle!!

[Stuart]

after seeing jims, id say black car white wheels. gives it a nice massive contrast.

[craig green]

white pinstripe in bumpers too.

[joff-turbo-nova]

I vote anthracite ..... but I'm a little biased as mine are that colour!!

Anthracite is looking good, especially against that colour :cool:

Nah, i like the colour

[Ash]

btw has it got headlight washer jets or something? where do u get them from? Also i quite like the car how it is (green/gold) i was just bored and i liked the wheels so i made it the same colours as mine - lol

[Jules]

Astra Mk3 GSi headlamp washers, my old GSi also had them, Nick Caro's SRi has them and Keiths T40 has them, not seen them on any other Novas

[RJM25R]

They don't work though..... Or so I'm told :-)

[martweaver]

mines had them for years - can be made to work easily
I have been thinking about getting some RL7's for a while too, nice wheels!
