Gunmetal wheels?

[fli gti]

Do you think gunmetal wheels would look ok on a cosmic green GTI? I was going to go with gloss black, but I found a set of brand new gunmetals in the same style for a rediculous price.

[ARRRRRRRR32]

get em. i always like gun metal instead of black.

Sure why not, what wheels?

Cheap-o Flik Arctics.

But they are 18x8.5, which is a good size for me, and I like the look of them.

But primarily because I'm a cheap bastard.

Not Fliks, please no.

why not? fliks are good-looking, cheap wheels.

i dont understand why there is so much hate for fliks. is it because theyre not baller and cost $700 a wheel?

If you have to ask a public web forum their opinion on wheels then you don't like them enough to buy them.

Save up or sack up. It's your car.

... fwiw I like gunmetal as you can see by the wheels I own.

You pretty much nailed that one.

Gunmetal > black

I dont like Fliks and it has nothing to do with the price tag, I just think they look cheap. IMO you can get a much better looking wheel for not much more for a VW. If you want an inexpensive quality wheel in that style I say TSW

which part? the "its not baller" or the "they dont cost $700 a wheel" part.

still stupid. theyre cheap wheels, who cares.

edit: i think most tsws are nasty. its like getting koenig wheels, they look ridiculous.

[mk-4gasm]

Koenig makes seats, Konig makes wheels. You can say what you want about TSW but they are good quality and stand behind there product which goes a long way in the wheel business. You jump down someones throat for saying the same thing about Fliks lol.

[NotoriousDUB]

I'm gonna agree with Josh's reasoning.

I just don't like the way they look. And Flik? What kind of name is that? Seriously. It reminds me of the kid that stuck his tongue to the flagpole in A Christmas Story.

[shedpress]

quick chop. I think they look decent. I like the gunmetal much better than black.

[NotoriousDUB]

Negative camber in the front, yo!

And who the fack is shedpress? :P
