Title: Tuck, Poke, Stretch, Get some new wheels dude !?
Post by: Purely VAG on 13 April 2010, 18:44: (http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b53/TDMEvOrAcEr/Golf%20MK4%20Project/IMG_0205.jpg)

I feel now my wheels are black, it looks understated, Now i like the stealthy look but the wheels don't look as good as when they were silver.

Now can't see be ever changing wheels, i want an R32 meanwhile i'll live in the shadows.

Any ideas what i can do?

Ive got 10mm spacing front and 25 rear, stretched tyres wouldn't suit the car as nothings Euro

Or shall i just STFU and stop talking crap?

Jrd,

Post by: mowlamb on 13 April 2010, 18:48: I think they look good :grin:

I see where your coming from tho as getting alloys done black does seem to take something away from the impact of them.

The black looks awesome. If you want to make them stand out, why not add some vinyl or something to them?

Post by: Hulmie on 13 April 2010, 22:02: i find with the black wheels they dont look clean for long and dont shine as much. Maybe an option would be Shadow Chrome. Had some shadow chrome wheels on my old darkish colour car and they looked real nice

Post by: Purely VAG on 13 April 2010, 23:12: No spare FMIC pal, just my only one on car. Keeping it, just using larger pipework.

And chrome = i hate the stuff.

I'll see how it goes :)

Post by: IAN C on 13 April 2010, 23:50: how about painting them white mate?
Title: Re: Tuck, Poke, Stretch, Get some new wheels dude !?
Post by: Hulmie on 14 April 2010, 09:56: Shadow Chrome is not like normal chrome. Its a dark colour but with a nice shine.

Post by: Purely VAG on 14 April 2010, 10:43: Theyve only just been powdercoated black mate, And white is a bit "out there". Seems a bit saxo to me.

I'll look into that shadow chrome.
