jonnygoodhand 0 Posted March 22, 2010 All depends on the colour of your car. Personally, if your XS is white, I'd be tempted with charcoal. If it's red/grey/black or blue, I'd just stick with the regular silver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lemmingzappa 75 1 Cars Posted March 22, 2010 I would be tempted to go either black or white with a red car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyJ 1 Posted March 22, 2010 I'd go white...black on a red car just looks like you've lost your hubcaps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tdr_1976 41 1 Cars Posted March 22, 2010 I had a set of silver XS wheels on mine, they looked good, but I thought I'd throw another set of wheels into the equation! I've only recently changed them to a beefier ET20 offset running 185 60 13 tyres for road rallying, they should work well with 205 1.6 GTi callipers and vented disks!

Edp 67 3 Cars Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) Get them powder coated in white for that rally look Edited March 27, 2010 by Edp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Will Eastman 6 Posted March 27, 2010 im thinking white, might go out and try a wheel today, do they need to go down to the bare metal to be repainted or just a nice sanding??? I was thinking of using nitromores to really strip them down but can see this may be an error? thanks for response guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
