looks good.

Strangely enough, I think if you have the bump strips black on the car, the wheels will suit it more.

you get the idea - black bump strips, Anni headlights (as they're darker) and black VW badges all round

Need some tyre shine on them and then it may look better.

From the pics, im not a fan of the wheels. Take some pics in the daylight tomorrow.

Gold paint, black audi wheels on a VW and red calipers isn't a great look TBH.

I prefer anni ones as they have the black surround

Looking good mate, i reckon the wheels will look better in daylight pics. Really need to get mine lowered
