Basically mates VXR Nurburgring Edition.... Should he leave the Rims White (Nightmare to clean!) or do them gloss black as per the photoshop below as he's unsure and was wondering people's opinions.
Cheers

He's had a bit of negative vibes about the wheels though... Not many people like them. And it does make it look more agressive with black rims.
I like both personally

No it was his idea to start with. But now he's unsure. Hence the photoshop to see what it would look like. I think the fact there going to be so hard to keep clean may sway it though.

Keep the white ones white, as he might find it easier to sell on with them.
Get some MOs or BBSes and go from there IMO.

Anthracite imho, not jet black. Any 'grey' colour within the decals looks good.
What's the point in spending money on Comp MO's, they are too similar imvho.

Nah, if he wanted them he would of opted for them as an option... The point of the rims that are on it is that they are light weight and wider track. I like the Compo MO idea and keep the original wheels white Best of both worlds...Will suggest it.
Cheers for your input guys

I'm not a fan of the wheels anyway, but I love black wheels on white cars so I'd pick black.

I bet it looks much better in the fleash, I wouldn't be tempted by other peoples opinions if he likes it standard then leave it.
Plus paint it black and its just another Astra on black wheels.
