new alloys...white or black?

Featured Replies

Hi, I have a fabia vrs in race blue and since i'm not that fussed on the standard alloys, I'd like to fit some new ones. I'm thinking 17s, as the standard 16s look a bit small imo.

I'm torn between white and black, I think white would look very nice but I've heard they are a pain to keep clean.

I've looked around online and found a few I like, if I went for white wheels I'd get these:

4x 17 Inch Wolfrace Pro Sprint White Alloy Wheels With 205/40/17 Tyres - Topgear Alloy Wheels

or maybe:

but there are also several very nice black alloys, eg

I'm really not sure which would look best on a blue vrs, wondering if you guys could advise me...

Cheers

I reckon a set of white Octavia vRS Spiders would be best.

I wouldn't have any of them.

Borbets or Dynamics if i had to chose though.

I might be interested in your old set if you are selling them.

End of the day, its whatever you prefer bud

hmmm... I just like the multispoke ones for some reason.

Ian - Yes I am planning on selling the old ones if you're interested.

I reckon a set of white Octavia vRS Spiders would be best.

Didn't LE 001 get that treatment by a lady member here?

Yes, there are at least two that I know of - LE001 is near Milton Keynes I believe and it looks the dogs danglies and there is another one in South Norfolk that I see quite a bit.

The Spiders look very similar to the diamond cust areas of the Fox R3 mentioned in the original post, hence my suggestion.

Black!

Joe,

I've sent a private mail.

Anthracite on a Race Blue for me. And yes I know that's not one of the options!

If it really has to be black or white, I'd go with black, but then regret not getting anthracite ;)
