Hi Guys..
Here is the car at the dealers and what the wheels she has chosen look like.  (I will attempt to photoshop them on a bit later)

 They are on special at Bob Janes for $119 + fitting (they wanted $15 per wheel for stripping and fit and balance but we beat them down to $10 :goodjob:) Using original tyres as Trish is no racer... :D

We don't really like the silver finish on the roof racks so I will probably spray them black for her... :winker:

Love it, great price on the rims, I was looking at getting another set and would be looking at about £800 (AU$ 1285) upwards for 4 with tyres :faint:

Here's a quick and dodgy photoshop of Trish's CW with the wheels added and black rather than silver roof bars...

What is the general consensus regarding the roofbars Black or Silver better on this colour?

Definitely black - to match the door handles and window surrounds

To be honest we were lucky they had quite a few wheels on clearance at Bob Janes but as usual the cheaper ones (under $100) were either sold out or not available in 15"  :rolleyes:

 We tried the local Beaurepaires but the guy on the desk was very off hand with Trish (not a good idea :faint:) so she went back to Bob Janes and sorted a deal on the Hyper ones (work well with the light surrounds etc...) :mrgreen:

Nice wheels Trish.
And I agree the roof rails should be black.

The pending new wheels look first class Dazz  :)

My advice with the roof-rails  .. stay with the silver it's the 2011+ look  :).

Not being a smarty  :winker: but as we all know Black is the new Silver in the body trend colour ..... and now they've made Silver the trend colour for roof rails and even x bars.
That pale blue suites silver ... yes  :D

I like the car colour and choice of wheels. The roof bars I would have painted matt black if it was mine  :goodjob:

Thank's everyone for your help with the colour of the roof racks. I like to get some input when changing things.

If keeping the black handles then the rails would be better black, but if buying the chrome covers then the rails should stay silver IMHO :D

So here are some pictures .. We will find a nice spot to take some better ones soon (when the windows are tinted and maybe the bars painted Black)  :mrgreen:

First a couple of pix of our two cars together (CW is a couple of shades darker in some lights) they look good together in the garage... :goodjob:





Was getting a bit late when I took these so look a bit dark even with a tweak  :-[

But the wheels look good  :winker:

Wow it looks first class Trish and Dazz  :goodjob: ... you both obviously work well as a team  :) Love the new wheels very modern and classy well worth whatever the cost, The silver roof rails really suit the pale blue although on mine the silver RR on hypersilver colour is not such a good match ! and what looks even worse is the black 'rola' cross bars but I may spray them silver ? ... They are just over half the cost of the genuine Hyundai and guaranteed for life.

One other thing I did with mine was to remove the badges on the tail gate .... there were just too many "wax traps" ... hyundai, i30 cw, 2.0lt and in my case 'trophy' as well, the only badge I left was the H symbol.

As I know you are going to do .... The window tint will REALLY set it off  .... a really cool but a hot looking i30cw  :cool:

All the best to you both in you new car  :).
