stash the OEM's and break out the EXACT wheels you want, OEM's back on at resale and sell your customs on fleabay afterwards.

Lovely jubbly.

Did you ever get these painted? Any pics?

I'm looking at the same. Have a set of Vancouvers, which I think looks too much on a silver car...silver on silver. Giving serious consideration to getting them powercoated anthracite over the winter when I put the seattles back on with winter tyres.

Or maybe just punting them for a set of ProRace 1.2's


Decisions, decisions.... :undecided:

Haha!! amazing what you find when nightshift offshore and bored.

No I never got them painted, just traded it in for a B8 S4 then got it MRC stg 2'd. But if I'd have kept it I would have.

I have 18" vancouvers, I planned to do mine in a nice gloss or metallic grey, I saw one at vw and thought it was great, lots of cleacoat and polish would look awesome on them.
