    A bit of a case of what perspective you see.. I believe the Silver highlights the Black accents as the Black wheels blend in with the tyres and starts to have the affect of unbalancing the the whole package.

    Black for sure! I was a silver guy at first, but everytime I see the black up close and personal, it wins me over. Photos dont do them justice. Except in the pics above....

    Each to their own of course though...
    Thanks for the photo Lucas_R. I agree with the subtleness and classy look of the silver wheels. But then I don't mind the black wheels too, as I test drove one and remember it looking not too bad... hmmm more thinking

    Right about that SilvrFoxX - R to another R for this time and then may go to the V6 Passat, as I am getting old now and should really act my age LOL

    Thanks everybody for your opinions and advice. I think I will go with the silver and be done with it. I like the contrast in colour from the side and with the dark tinted front and back windows it should look a good package.

    Again thanks for the advice.
    Cheers

    I'd recommend Black. The silver only stays clean for 24-48 hours after a wash then gets all covered in black brake dust and looks awful. Black cars need two washes a week. So do Golf silver wheels!

    All your brake dust issues will go away if you change the brake pads.
