Non bacon car

Re: Non bacon car

To be easy, Im also voting white but why not get just the inside in white and faces in silver? (at least it looks like it to me in this photo)

I like this. I'm sure this would be more expensive, but they would stand out a lot more and be more unique I think. I've seen a set of RS's done this way and they looked fantastic. Personally, I wouldn't do all white simply because you did that on your MK4, so why not change it up?

I actually don't think the windows are white on this vehicle. They cast the wheel then machine finish the faces and that is the contrast i think you see here.
I wouldn't go white, you will hate cleaning them every second day or they will get super dirty in the windows. And there are a loooooot of windows to clean.

I personally like the copper, suits the car.
But what about a hyper silver paint? They don't have it in powder but they do in paint.

Sean is right, Thats just the machined face, no white involved.

I don't think I'm going to paint them, i think i would rather powdercoat, and only want 1 colour because i don't really wanna be paying more than $500. Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I think I'm leaning on a gold/bronze/copper right now. Probably something with sparklez.

But incase you do want some color what about a purple?


Or rose gold?

Re: Non bacon car

I like the gold or the white. If refinish is paint with clear. Seal it with a coating like gtechniq exo or c quartz, something along those lines. It will be some hard work initially applying it but make cleaning way easier. I've always coated cleared wheels with a sealant , which isn't nearly as durable as a ceramic coating such as gtechniq etc, brake dust rinses right off without specific wheel cleaners.
Just my $0.02

Re: Non bacon car

Fix them, make them white (only because that seems to be what most like and they will be easy to sell) sell them, order another set in 19x9.5 square in a aged brushed translucent over gold/bronze/copper/titanium/pewter.

Re: Non bacon car

The white definitely looks the best! as for the wheel dust, yes it happens but a little bit of Sonax and a car wash and you should be good to go!

Re: Non bacon car

The white looks awesome but white wheels + brake dust don't go so well together.

Ask me about this Dan...

Re: Non bacon car

More cleaning up, I picked up the replacement lower grille which will go on in the spring. On a side note i went for a run with my pup.



Dip from the wheels removed, looks even better now.



Dropped off one of my summer wheels at AB wheel repair. I originally asked joe @kwiksilver to fix it, but he said he doesn't do structural repairs. Seemed weird because he did a structural repair on one of my rotiforms in the summer. Anyways Ab Wheel repair said it should be done this week.

That being said, the wheels will need a refinish. Opinions on colours? Im not exactly sure what colour i want yet. Here are some examples:
