    Kinda hard to give colour advice when we don't know what wheels they are....what size etc. and what colour your car is >.>"

        machined faced with a black lip will look small... so you'd wanna run 19"
        what sort of wheels are you looking at?

          Being charcoal grey u sometimes can be limited to colours, I myself would go a black chrome edge with the centres being black, but also finish off your callipers also in black chrome, it really all depends on ur personal choice, I hope this helps

            Red to match the grille stripes but in all seriousness I think that CSG looks better with lighter/brighter colours as opposed to black but that's my opinion

              I understand that is not everybody's cup of tea - especially VW motorsport wheels, but I like it... so it is black for me:








              Only thing that I am not happy is centre caps - I want to apply some dark tinting - film... still to keep VW logo but not so prominent

                  19's will be fine at standard height without guard work but make sure you get an accurate offset.

                  csg is a hard colour to get wheels for, it's actually dareker than gunmetal and black doesn't show it off well.
                  I would say go for a polished face for those 310's otherwise go fluoro green or white.

                    My bad, read CSG as DSG >.> Either way it's all wheel dependent. You can get pretty creative with painting, matching colours etc.
                    I'm a big fan of lime green with that colour, if you're going all 1 colour. But I understand It's a bit daring to the conventional.

                        Sorry to hijack this thread.... But rather than start another one...

                        What colour rims would you suggest for a black MKV R32? I am not a massive fan of the black on black look....

                          cars in shades of white/grey/or black are the easiest for making wheels suit. can do ANY colour and itll work
