    Satin Black or Charcoal Boavista Wheels

    hi guys - i am thinking about getting the 17" Boavista wheels for my Polo 77tsi 6R.

    my car is white and im wanting to 2-pac paint the wheels satin black or charcoal.
    Has anyone done this to their Polo/ Golf? If so, what colour looked better against the white?

    thanks!

    I would take the replica route, there are many good black replica's sold these days Ther are so good that some dealerships sold them as originals, for the original price tag :/

    The rep's are around €500 a set here while the dealership asks €1500 and up, so these would be my choise any day

    And found this:

    I think, go black, but either matte or satin.

    cheers thanks PoloDave. i wasn't clear in my original post - I'm looking at getting the sports pack for my polo. so its only a $1500 extra for this package.
    The pics look great. I may go for satin as Matt looks a little to 'chalky'

    don't know if powder coating or 2-pac is a better/ durable finish?
