Need help choosing RSE10 color for deep black pearl GTI

[Diggs24]

Black and gold do go really well together.

I think that's why I'd pick it, since it's not a gold-bronze. Subtle, but a bit different.

It gets lost on thin spokes. More face, yeah I'd be cool with it.

Anyway you slice it, most wheels are an upgrade over Asstins or Dalass.

Ahh hyper black might be the move. For some reason I thought hyper black was gloss black so didn't think that was an option. Just looked them up on a GTI and they look pretty amazing

Yeah, the name of the color makes no sense. They aren't black at all.

Another question would be 8.5 or 8? Should I just go for 8.5 since I heard they'll be flush? Don't really know too much about wheels/tires

Hyper black is sort of like "black chrome", neither of which are black BUT it's a black base finish with a gloss silver paint over, so you get silver with more depth.

Yep, perfect size because it sits flush with the car.

Are you on a lowered suspension or stock? It matters. If you are lowered then you should go with the 8.5 and have a flush look. If not, the 8's might be better suited...

Its personal taste so maybe you find some pix of what you're after and then you can decide. Take a look at the wheels/suspension in tech topics and there is a thread at the top for wheels, lots of pix and some say what size and if they are lowered, by how much, etc...

Planning to stay stock height. Would 8.5 cause issues with stock height?

Car isn’t black, but def hyperblack for contrast. In the end, it’s your car so whatever you like the best.

18x8.5 w/ 225/40-18 lowered about 1.3in on bilstein pss
If I could go back I would just run 235
