Beg to differ, white cars with black, or preferably dark graphite, wheels looks cool because the latter accentuates and co-ordinates with the black skirts, window surrounds and front bumper trim, etc.

Mind, *gloss* black is a choice punishable by guillotine - must be satin or matt finish.

White cars with silver wheels looks insipid.

Got mine in May this year on 104k miles. 2.0TSI 211PS and DSG. Enjoying it a lot as a jack of all trades kind of car. It was cheap enough that I don’t worry too much about the kerbs and car parks, but it polishes up well. All I’ve done is oil service, change the dsg oil, new wiper blades and new air con pipe seal as it had corroded. Other than that, all good... BUT I cannot for the life of me get on with the seats. Backache from them pushing me into a hunched sort of driving position and even though I’m only 5’10 my head is very close to the roof, even with the seat at its lowest. Weird.

Glad it's not just me, then! I thought it was.

I never got beyond the showroom, as I could not get on with the ergonomics at all.
Nope, not just you! It's a borderline deal breaker for me, but I only realised after a few months - will probably get rid in the next 6 months. My back is important to me...

Worth experimenting. I felt similar after first week of ownership but tried a more upright seat back/closer to wheel and although not a sporty position ended up very comfortable over long drives.

When I saw this article, I knew there would be the standard "Black wheels are awful". This place is so predictable.

I like these. A friend had one for a couple of years. Nice looking cars though, like the Alfa Brera, I think it's a stretch to call it a coupe, given it's length-to-height ratio. Regardless, they're a handsome car in my eyes.
Because black wheels ARE awful!!
