black rims FTW!!!

[MGT]

Tigger,

No mods yet still stock, thanks for the pics, yes my wheels will be black as pictured and dropped tinted etc. Hopefully all will be done in the next month or so just a bit busy at the moment, just cant have car off the road for a week while wheels are being done.

I agree black roof rails will just finish it off nicely, haven't looked closely yet but can they be removed from the car to be coloured or wrapped????

Those black rims at the motor show really were the goods.
A gloss black with metallic... I wanted to buy them on the spot.

Would not have upgraded rims had mine come with those. *wow*

Yes they can, and swapping is an easier option if you can find someone to swap with

See how to in this thread: http://www.vwwatercooled.com/forums/...f+rail+removal

I've carbon wrapped my roof rails, looks a lot better (up market) than a plain black finish

[zei20t]

I've seen martins roof racks, they certainly are much better than the silver!

Lucky for me I now have a spare set of rims to make black

[MGT]

Thats what I need at the moment at this stage the only option is to put the car on stands in the garage for the week. Where did you get your spare set.

He bought my old/stock rims which I no longer use....

MGT, i vaguely remember another forum member in the For Sale section selling off parts from a written-off vRS wagon. he might still have the rails.

You guys are awesome thanks very much!!!!!
Tigger since u were first I've sent u pm check your inbox.
Just thinking too when I have the wheels done black I am going to need wheel nuts to match too, anybody know where you can purchase these and what thread size I should be looking for, the grey plastic covers that cover wheels muts may look a bit odd against the black.
