    2 unrelated questions - wheels and seals

    Hey guys.

    First question - has anyone renewed the door seals on their mk3 - if so, did you get them from the dealer or somewhere else?

    Second question -

    I'm fixing up my speedline 16x7.5 wheels, which have been sitting in the shed for a while. After getting them straightened I will be repainting them.

    I'm at a loss about what colour to do them - there seems to be a lot of different silvers around these days, but whatever colour I want it to look fairly euro and not too lairy. Black seems to be a difficult colour to match wheels with.

    Some pics of the speedlines:
