Are the front and back wheels meant to be different on 5? I love the back wheel with that red/black combination! Or 1 is awesome too.

Original looks good...a shame I know cos it's kind of standard.8)
No 2 is clearly not serious.
No 5 The rear of no 5 looks very nice. Just a little bit flashy but not overdone. :mrgreen:
Could I suggest a No 6?....paint the out side edge of your standard wheels body colour. 8)
Edit because I got the numbers confused...all fixed now

Toss up between the current version and number one, probably leaning towards the current set up, close call between the two though.

As a side note a few years back I sold my Mk2 S same colour as yours except mine was all red didn't have the white roof, I had the silver wheels similiar to yours on mine when I sold it.

I think option #1 or #3.

I tried to set a poll up for you Hanra but for some reason it won't display :?

<edit> ok it didn't display just before for me :roll:

I have to be one o the first to say it but I honestly think option #2 looks hot. That's the one I'd run with, not a fan of the red and black ones.

Option 2 turns the stomach somewhat.

I honestly think the original choice or #1 are the best of the options.

But if you want something substantially different to your current wheels, go with the rear wbeel on #5.

I like option 4 but only if it's satin or flat black. I would have voted #2 but they're my wheels (Anthracite deep disk, my favourite kind of pizza).

Im mainly leaning towards Option 1, that colour was the same as the rims on my XR6T Ute. Id have to mix up a custom colour similar to that.
