What color to do my cupra tdi wheels

[Ant FR]

Ok,

after picking up my bargain of the century cupra wheel for £6.39 off ebay they other week i now have enough wheels to go get refurbed. I've decided i will be keeping the cupra till the end of the year when i want to get a Megane R26-R or a focus RS clubsport. so for now i am just trating it up with a few bits to make it more fun while i own it.

So there booked in for tuesday pick up, with a new set of T1-Rs i picked up from camskill yesterday. Now the next problem.

I'm undecided on wheel colour on a red Cupra tdi

so heres the options,

White - this is the mad option, not sure it will work as have;nt seen anyone do it on a cupra mk4, but it may look good.

Gloss Black - have reservations about this as it has a habit of makng the hweels look smaller and dirtier when the tyres brown a bit.

Matt Black - had matt black on two previous cars, again only thing to put me off is the thing of the wheel rarely looks clean.

Anthracite ( as dark as possible) - ths is my preferred choice, the guy on here with the black one with "coal" effect anthracite is what i am after.


so anyone any thoughts.

you found a cupra wheel for £6 i was last offerd a set for 300 inc tyres but turned them down because they were in ireland.

silver all the way

As much as i love white, there a nightmare to keep clean. So black imho.

350BHP focus clubsport, holy jesus what a car! bit pricey though for a focus hatch at 35k.

My FR wheels are Gloss black

tyre's dont go brown if you keep them clean and tyre gel them up

Good find.

I would go with a bright silver. Make the wheel look bigger and really cleans them up.

now , see, you go and put that pic up, makes me want to go Gloss black now,

i got till monday to think about it. Its a real toss up, very dark anthracite or gloss black now. but that FR looks very nice indeed

Tough choice between gloss black and dark anthracite, both look awesome!

sorry

The white does look good though. Will just have to keep cleaning them all the time.

tell me about it

 

[Scott-o]

should try having your whole car white and bare metal dishes on your wheels

 

[Wilber]

Matt black or white. White is more of a sporty look though.
