Opinions on Wheel Choice Please

Bought the car with these HRE's. I think it looks good, but was thinking a mesh wheel might look better? I asked another 6Speed member to PS the new 360 Forged Mesh Eight on my TT. What looks best, HRE, brushed mesh, black mesh, or gold annodized mesh? I have to say, I think I like the HRE's the best. Thanks for the feedback!

I really like the HRE C20....

As far as color, black with polished lip... or gold anodized.

Trying to decide on a color for my slate...looks like same wheels. Good taste

All black is boring. Needs some contrast, love the look of the third one. Black car with silver/brushed wheels look great.

I agree. You have bomb rims already, I don't see it making a night and day difference, especially if you go with black centers again.

HRE, brushed or black are fine, but lips have to be polished.
