what does everybody think about black alloys

my new white vrs estate is due to be here before christmas but i carnt make my mind up about having the wheels done in gloss black..............

found a place near me in leeds to take car,they will take of tyres and refit and balance and do front and back in black gloss £300

not really bothered how much it costs more bothered as what it would look like,some body at work as a fr cupra in grey with black gloss wheels and that looks really well

There is a white Corsa VXR near where I live in white with a gloss black roof and wheels and it looks the nutts!! I think with a white vRS I think I would look at a very dark metallic gunmmetal though.

There is a member on here with black wheels and mirror covers and I think he may have had the chrome grill surround done in black also, do a search mate!

IIRC, members user name is rob_e

Also I think GAFF has one similar-ish, but not FL?

Spot on 'v R S' although I was wrong they are not black wheels, but dark anthracite as I recommended previously.

i think do it , it will set you apert from all the other millions of vrs's about.

Not my cup of tea...........even less so on a new car! However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Hope you enjoy your new car. I collect my vrs estate in a few weeks. Can't wait.

Hi Tony

Mine are "sparkling graphite" gloss. Looks almost black, but not quite.. links to pics and blog in my sig below. I also have matt black mirror covers.

pm me if you want any more info. n.b. mine cost 180 quid all-in.

HTH.

I just got mine done in 'black chrome' last week which is not too disimilar from the anthracite but perhaps a bit more metalliccy. I think plain black wheels are 'lost' a bit on a black car but everyone will have a different opinion on this I guess.

Jeez, having you on this forum is like being married again Here you go...taken at night and dirty alloys so not doing them justice but I couldn't take the nagging any more

Those brakes make your wheels look small :p

Quite a lot of kerbing there Brimma!! :S

Ive got black alloys on my FR and I shan't be going for them on my blue vRS when it finally arrives. They constantly look dirty no matter what the wheather even though they are very well done by Laptab in Birmingham.

I shall be going for an anthracite colour I think. These will look nice especially with the big red Cupra brakes behind them!

nice wheels muckipup and brimma. those brakes are making me jealous!

Quite a lot of kerbing there Brimma!! :S

Is it not just that white greasy cr@p they use to mount the tyres?

Only kidding matey!

Sugar soap, definately not kerbage from the Brimma!!
