Hi folks,

Im just about to embark on my alloy wheel refurb, been a long time coming considering ive owned my GTi for nearly 3 years now!

The thing is, i just cant decide whether to stay standard as it rolled off the production line or go for black or gun metal grey with silver rims. My GTi is black and i think with black alloys will too much black but the gun metal looks pretty cool like they have on the audi's.

Any other ideas would be appreciated!

Find yourself a set of the 16" RX2's, they make the car look perfect

Personally I think it's best to go with different shades of silver/grey as this seems to suit them best
Im not sure why but in my eyes different colours just don't suit the RXIIs.

Thanks guys,

Yeah i have the standard BBS 15's that come with the car, will have a go a refurbing the rims myself but the centre will need a factory job. silver rims with grey centres i think

So do I! Hence the shameful plug

16" RXII's FTW!

They used to be snapped up instantly a few years back but they are a lot harder to sell now unfortunately

If I didn't have the borbets I'd have the 16s

What you asking for them? Any pics mate?

I did mine anthracite grey centered a couple years ago.

I'm thinking of doin my centres Grau met, like my borbets

Asking for £500 mate and that includes 4 Toyo Proxes T1R tyres, 3 are virtually new and the other is literally brand new covering a total of 0 miles

Here are a few pics of them on the car, I dont have any pics of them off the car at the moment but I can get you some this weekend if your interested?
These are a bargain I paid over £500 for them with no tyres and each tyre on these bad boy retail at over £70 195/40/16's

Forgot to mention they come with new BBS centre caps and BBS Aluminium valve caps too

They look sweet mate alot of difference to the 15s I'll let you know soon enough but atm I'm Savin for my exhaust so wouldn't be for a while if I was to have them

Yeah mate no worries at all, I dont think they will be going anywhere soon so I dont mind waiting
I'll try and get some better pics up soon

Nice 1 mate

If I was to have them it'll be nearer the end of the year to use as winters
