Joti Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) White and white I think a no-no - black with a polished lip, gold, anthracite, bronze (Rotas) or just plain silver.I would go so far as to get a special lightweight (racing) model, such as below.... WOODEN RIMS FTW!!!!!!Just my opinion......... Edited November 1, 2012 by Joti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber_Nunny Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 White and white I think a no-noTotally agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joti Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) Not good.....Unless you colour match them (which will still look crud!), the wheels will be brighter than the paintwork. Edited November 1, 2012 by Joti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sp3nny Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 just chills guys this thread is in danger of being hijacked. If you can't take banter then don't give it, theres no point getting upset over "your Dad" jokes.And Pat i think it would look sweet on Blue wheels:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLKSWAGEN-LUPO-GTI-NEW-MOT-FULL-SERVICE-HISTORY-FULL-BLACK-LEATHER-SUNROOF-/170906815518?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&nma=true&si=wvQXOpRX8ArWMSDQzFJt3pzP2hQ%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nci know thats a GTI but its white and shows you the colour combo you could have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
