Hi All,
I got a message from my dealer the other day that I need to go in and finalise my spec for an RS (seems Switzerland at least is certainly getting some more..). I'm struggling with choices but wheel-wise I'm not keen on black, have platinum at the moment. and am intruiged by silver. I think that silver could be an interesting choice and give a bit more of a classic feel to things. It seems to have a gloss finish as well as opposed to the satin finish on black/platinum.

Anyone got any good pics of RS with these silver wheels? I'd like to see how they look with different colours.. I'm between red/silver/lizard at the moment. But then maybe black..? Aargh..

If you want them to stay Silver you should go with PCCBs

Silver wheels look good when they are clean.

I know that you are leaning to silver but I was at my dealership today and there was a RS being delivered with GT Silver and Black wheels and it looks amazing. I have also seen White with Gold and Chalk with Black. In full disclosure, I took the path of least resistance and went LG with Black and PCCB.

Based on the cars i have seen up close, i don't thing there is a bad combination, however i would say PCCB looks great with silver

My red .1 has silver wheels and steel brakes. I think it looks fantastic. YMMV.

Here are silver HRE R101 LW on my RS. Love them as they really brighten up the car over the black wheels.

Thanks all - interesting. I like the way they look on the UV and MB cars - maybe as they bring contrast to the less bright colours..

I've seen this car in real life - it did look good.. I remember thinking it made the wheels look huge (they are, but maybe darker colours hide that..).




@WantA997 - your car looks cool - and red/black were the combinations I was looking for decent pics of - do you have any more of your car by chance?

Thank you. I'm not much of a photo taker, but here's a couple below. One thing to note is my car is not Guards Red, it's a few shades lighter (and bordering on orange in certain lighting). My friend's .2 with gold wheels is, however, Guards Red.
