Title: Ed30 Black Huff/Detroit Rim help please
Post by: tootall on 16 January 2009, 20:11

Hey

I am looking for more info on the Ed30 rims (black Huff/Detroit style) because I am considering having my OEM 18in GTI MkV rims sprayed black to look like the Ed30 rims.

I believe that the black 18in Huff/Detroit rims that I have seen in pics are OEM for the Ed30 (not available in this country).

Close up pics would be 1st prize!

I am interested to know if the black rims (assume matt??) have the same glossy charcoal sections that the OEM GTi rims have in which case only the silver sections of my rim needs spraying?? Or is the entire rim (except for the polished edge) black.

Thanks

Toot
Silver 08 GTi MkV DSG

I can also confirm they have a Matte finish.

they are available in this country mate as i had prices on them a few months ago, ask for the Detroit rim, i think they were about 1200 for 4 if i remember, ^^ as above Greenouse has them on his motor some folks do opt for spraying of the monza rim which looks good aswell, depends on your budget.

Not yet Stealth, the car was only about a week old! Could do with a paint now though  :wink:

Steve: I think he meant my bells/hubs :afro:
