too much black for my taste-doesnt pick out the detail...

i am a big fan of black wheels-but not always on black cars either-but each to their own,if we all liked the same color and style it would be a dull place
a car i do like with black wheels and optics is the vossen shod avant example often pictured-goes against my normal taste lol

now that needs those optics-and the wheels....makes the car
black wheels also look good in the metal but they can picture poorly loosing lots detail
most folk like the optics on any color it has to be said

The Vossen B7 wheels are not black, they are graphite.

whatever it is looks sweet and would hide the brake dust well

You are right, I actually bought the car like this. Iv wanted to send the wheels off to lepsons for a while now to have them refurbed to titanium and have the wing mirrors the same colour to match. I just haven’t got round to doing it yet.

I'm still smitten on the condition and mileage of this car, what if I got them, at their cost, to install the Black Optics pack and the NYSE? Black optics window surround could just be film to keep it reasonable.
Thoughts please as crunch time tomorrow!

I think people have given you there thoughts and as a consensus they are saying to give it a miss. It's you decision at the end of the day and if it's gonna make you happy and you won't regret it when you lose £££ go for it.

If I had my time again i'd have gone with something that was charged which you'd easily get for your price bracket.

If you want black optics just get the rails, window surround and grill wrapped or painted. Somewhere around £300 to wrap. Then reversible if you want. Which car? The silver one? Get which one ticks the boxes for you. Go see it and make sure it’s all it’s cracked up to be. You can get HazzyDays or similar to fit you an RNSE, Bluetooth, anything else you need.

Remember the rubber components in bushes etc are perishable, regardless of the mileage, so those sort of bills are pretty much inevitable at some point.

I'm going to try and view this tomorrow:

It's not a high spec car so condition will be everything, but can I be a pain and ask for opinions again please?
Many thanks

It's a B8 so it's got the wrong gearbox & steering!
