What colours have you painted your neptunes?


Recommended Posts

I'm thinking of getting my wheels painted once I've got my coilovers purchased and fitted. I was originally thinking of going for black, but I'm keen to see what other colours people have gone for.

 

I'm especially keen to see how different colours look on a race blue combi.

 

Cheers!

Silver, black and anthracite (grey) are the common colours.

 

If you want pictures of black Neptunes on a race blue vRS search for the 'Blackline'. This was an end-of-line special edition that got the black Neptunes as standard...

There is a dedicated thread for the Blackline with loads of pictures:

Or for loads of other pictures of different alloy colour combinations check out the common 'post your MkII Octavia pictures' thread...

Agreed, I've never quiet understood black alloys? Why would you want wheels same colour as your tyres, that frankly most of the time you cannot see the difference in contrast!

When ever I see a car on the motorway with black alloys.. I always think, steelies???

Silver all the way for me!

I went anthracite on a black car at a recent refurb. I like them and although I think I actually preferred silver, I particularly like the fact I have a more unique car, especially given the green vrs calipers on a non vrs.

I'm not sure anthracite would work on blue but pic posted anyway for reference.

There is a guy in Sydney who has white neptunes on a race blue RS. looks the goods!

 

I did quite fancy white, I guess i'd need to up my car cleaning regimen to keep them looking good though?
