I not a fan of black wheels and my personal opinion is they would look better in silver.
They look nice on that vdub.

Hi,

I reckon they look the business on the little polo with the wide arch body kit. Rare I would say it but the white wheels really look good against the blue of the car.

On the Coupe I'm not too sure from the photo you have provided, as a rule black wheels are not my taste though white wheels aren't great either. If they were a dark silver / Gun metal Grey they could look rather Good.

Expensive to find out but - however I'm guessing that they are not really your cuppa either if you were trying to sell them??

Looks like black wheels not very popular colour on FCCUK.
The reason i've choosed satin black , because it blends in with black bits on the car and chunkiness of the wheel give it a bit of edge , and it looks cool in real life , perhaps silver or atracite would even better as most of you suggested and i really apreciate that.
I did a research about Compomotive brand and people say it's quality motorsport product and it's a straight fitment , so i've bought them and was absolutely happy man.

Now i've choosed performance over stiling and no compromises.
Allready bought 17' as they lighter and cheaper on tyres.
I would keep 18' , but i have bigger heavier brakes and with 18' adds too much weight...i wish they were forged.
The other thing is there not much track tyre choice on 18'

Don't know what to do now , might coated them in different colour ?

Any suggestions?

Ehm... the colour > black > you can't see the actual wheels, just a black piece of bit.

Well... quite understand. I love to actually see the curves, flow and details on nice rims. Black is just hiding them. A nice metallic matte grey finish... hmmm...
