Title: what should i do with my rims?
Post by: dan23 on 16 March 2008, 20:39
well i have these really bad BSA rims on the golf atm with a tacky mirror finish and tbh i really dont like it, im ok for spare rims as i have some g60 steelies to drive around in while i sort them out, but what i would like is ideas on what to do with them, i was maybe thinking either spraying them all black, or all black and leaving a mirror lip on them, any other ideas?

iv photoshopped it a few times but cant make my mind up so if you have a look at the wheels and chuck some ideas my way that would be great

heres the pic of the wheels on the golf

na they aint really peeling at all mate, i would like it if they did tho as when i brought them a few months back they were all dirty and didnt look shiny, but as soon as i cleaned them they were glimmin shinny, think it makes the golf look too chav for my likings tbh, thats why i wanna do something with them

If you want the stretched look, go for the 165 50 15, but otherwise go for 195's, as the G60 steel is only 6" wide, and 205's look like balloons.

use the Rubber off ya 15" alloys if they are 195s  :wink:

cant, one has side wall damage and is currently flat and the other 3 are getting low on tread. think for the time being will just make the BSA alloys black or something and when iv got the spare money get some g60 steelies as they just look pure sex on your golf in your siggy
