    Which colour should I paint these wheels?

    Hey guys,

    Finally getting around to having my wheels refurbished. Looking for some ideas and opinions on colour options. They're S3 rims for my red GTI. At the moment I'm thinking a matt black?

    Gloss black with a red pinstripe!
    would match the GTI theme.

    Matte S3 wheels are so overdone

    Yeah shadow chrome or a slightly darker colour like gunmetal. Saw some like that on a red Pogo and they looked great.

    Personally I think black does not suit the Polo.

    The chrome or silver finishes look good.

    If you are adventurous you could go white, but keeping them clean would be a pain!

    is shadow chrome just a colour or is it a slightly different process? (eg. two stage)

    do you guys think a bronze look is a no-no?
