    I originally ordered silver then switched to black then went home downloaded some pics and decided to go for the silver again lol the r is rising blue. I just think for an old guy like me the silver looks a little classier lol

      Good decision, the RB is much better for the Silver rims.. I hope you didn't order the 19s

        With the grey exterior I vote the silver rims. The black wheels look really hot on white R's but on the grey it doesn't really have the same appeal.

          I like the Silver, preferrably 18s as you get the silver cowling in the xenons which makes it pop. Black wheels seems to lift White, compliment black but everything else is a coin toss. UG you could go either way

            Black by far. Much more purposeful. Compliments the other black detailing on the car, especially with dark window tint.

            Although the silver is a fine look...a prettier, lighter style.

            Why not buy some dark aftermarket wheels now, run them until the replacement arrives...order it with 18's in silver (to work with the silver headlight accents) and run what appeals to you mood...

              A bit of a case of what perspective you see.. I believe the Silver highlights the Black accents as the Black wheels blend in with the tyres and starts to have the affect of unbalancing the the whole package.

                No stuck with the 18's

                    Black for sure! I was a silver guy at first, but everytime I see the black up close and personal, it wins me over. Photos dont do them justice. Except in the pics above....

                      Each to their own of course though...
                      Thanks for the photo Lucas_R. I agree with the subtleness and classy look of the silver wheels. But then I don't mind the black wheels too, as I test drove one and remember it looking not too bad... hmmm more thinking

                          Right about that SilvrFoxX - R to another R for this time and then may go to the V6 Passat, as I am getting old now and should really act my age LOL

                          Thanks everybody for your opinions and advice. I think I will go with the silver and be done with it. I like the contrast in colour from the side and with the dark tinted front and back windows it should look a good package.

                          Again thanks for the advice.
                          Cheers

                            Cut it out.. I reckon after 2 Golf Rs the Passat will kill you

                              I'd recommend Black. The silver only stays clean for 24-48 hours after a wash then gets all covered in black brake dust and looks awful. Black cars need two washes a week. So do Golf silver wheels!

                                All your brake dust issues will go away if you change the brake pads.
