I'm thinking about getting the wheels refurbished in a white or silver colour as I've never been a fan of black wheels on a black car. I had black Rota slipstreams on my other 5th gen and swapped them for oem saw blades which I thought looked better.

The other option is to fit the original 16 inch Type S wheels which Sam let me have when I bought it, but they seem to sit a bit inside the arches too much.

The car looks great... What about a bronze colour..?
I would agree the 16's would be small... And the car would sit very low as a daily...

Bronze only looks good on after market wheels.

Having a black car it gives you the option to go any colour on the wheels.
Depends on the kind of statement you want to make. White would cause a lot of grief with brake dust I would think.
I do like the look of black on black. It makes the car look very mean and aggressive.
Maybe a gunmetal grey?

White wheels do look nice on Black car but like Prahunt says they do get dirty often/easily..

At least you know it's gone to someone who's loving it as it deserves

White wheels are fine. Black shows brake dust more imo. Just goes dull.

White remains white just dirtier.

Thanks for the comments - I did a quick mess around in Photoshop and I reckon this could look OK, a bright silver finish?
