   basically since getting rid of the borbets i have acquired a set of black vts wheels and white 206 sirocco alloys, i want to know which people prefer
   
   i personally want to keep the 206 sirocco's as i prefer the white paint, have better tires, and the tires are a higher profile (50) than the vts alloys (45), so they fill the arch better (me being to cheap to buy coilovers to make it look lower lol). BUT they need 20mm spacers (i think) basically i got them off a 306 which used 20mm spacers on the back but on my saxo i need spacers on the front and back so if i decide to keep them i will need to purchase 2x20mm spacers and 8xlonger bolts
   
   the black vts wheels probably suit the car better and obviously dont require any spacers so i can fit them straight on...
   
   enough of my chatting take a look at the pics and vote

   If the VTS's where in white..
   
   siroccos just don't look quite right, too swirly, VTS's look more subtle and suit a saxo alot better.

   i was gonna say im going to refurb the wheels, as neither of them have been painted that well lol so yes painting the vts wheels white is an option, its more the colour im after anyway, so your vote is white then
   
   also i think i saw your car today and the premier inn at milton keynes for trax if you were there lol

    read the last couple pages of my thread to find out where the borbets have gone lol
    
    ive never been a fan of black wheels tbh, i only had the borbets in black because they were borbets lol they could have been any colour and i would have liked them lol

    black vts's look boring, dull and from a distance like your rolling on black steelies.
    white sirroccos are different, look cleaner and better imo

    I'd personally say the VTS wheels as the black ties in with your black and red colour scheme, the white would look a tad weird.
    
    Also like someone else said the Sirroco's look a bit too swirly and don't seem to work with saxo's?

    yea i tried them with no spacers but they wouldnt go on, but my mate chucked in 2x20mm spacers with the sale so they fit on with them i dont know if they NEED 20mm spacers ie they might need 10mm/15mm etc but they are jsut ones i had lying around, i couldnt find the offset on the wheels so i dont know 100% which ones to use, so if i do use the roccos i need to get 2 more spacers, to be on the safe side im just gonna get 20mm ones

    if i was keeping the wheels then id deffo go for the roccos
    
    if i find some 20mm spacers int he for sale section cheap then ill keep the roccos lol
