ok had my gsi about a year+ now "thinking" about changing the colour of my wheels..?

what colour should i do them?

- anthracite
- black
- different shade of silver?
- some sort of gray?
- some sort of black??

or leave it as it is any op? ideas would be great

i feel theres to much silver going on sometimes, and fancy a change in colour they are getting powder coated they need a re-furb anyways they have tiny little marks here and there

also going to change the tyres as i hate the ones that are on 205-40-r17 was going to fit some new tyres and get a better side wall streach "look" thinking 195-40-r17 toyo proxies?

heres my mk4 gsi anyways:-



what yous think?
