i have recently painted my wheels silver as the previous owner decided to paint them black.. to be honest it didnt look too bad but ii fancied something different..
now that i have painted them silver i find it looks too standard...
what do you guys suggest?.. heres a pic of how they look now...

looks real good but loose those terrible blue side indicators

crystal = chav
go OEM (which on my wings are a smoked)
or failing that just darkened ones, like boneybradley has on his
-
i was thinking of darkening the blue ones to blend in with the bodywork better....
if you catch my drift..
i dont want to chav the car up by any means at all.. just wanna make it look mean... :evil:
-
I have voted other.....get to halfrauds and pick a clour that you think will look ok (thats what id did and i think my wheels look good but different)
-
I voted to leave them silver, I think the old 16v wheels are cool. Maybe just put some hubcentric spacers on.
-
i voted other, i think you should do them something like a darker silver, grey metal colour.
-
light gunmetal , shadow look chrome maybe
basically stay sliver but have the dark side to it ?
-
yep gunmetal grey, I'm refurbing a set of 16v wheels to put slicks on for track days - yes full slicks.... :laugh:
-
nice opinions peoples...
might just stay silver at the moment though, i dont see the point in going from one silver to another... :tongue:
-
I Have awesome ideas for what i want from my dub... i just need to get saving and get it done :D
-
Mine are painted Rover titanium grey or something like that....and I beleive it does make the wheels look very different :undecided: (luckily I refurbed them while I was at it...)
-
leave the indicators, there different. But if you can darken them to blend with the paint work then that would look better. Tint then like you did the headlights and mayb they will look even better, but as kells said smoked OEM FTW.
As for my vote - black! but i guess you dont really want black as you changed them to silver from black! So if i had vote something else, then choose a unique color and go with it. A subtle color is best, but maybe something you dont see much on a mk3. Obviously not bright yellow, or anything chavvy like that, but a any dark color may look awesome!! but the safe option is the plain colors - black, grey, silver, white; always work well.

(btw - for those that don't know I went down the crystal route)
keep your wheels silver or maybe a different slightly darker shade or silver

lol sh!t, sorry about that, but i have always said, i think your car is the only one i have seen that pulls of the crystal light thing...i dont know why it works on yours but it does, and i really aint a fan of them as you well know, but i dont think anything else would work for you like the set up your running, so all is good, genuinly mean that, you know me by now i just say it how it is :wink: :cool:
-
how about paintstripper and polish! :cool: not done it myself (yet!) , i know not all types of ally comes up good but if you painting them anyway, try a little bit c how you get on ?? any one know if standard gti wheels can polish up?? :cool:

i thought about doing this, got a second set of gti alloys coming, dunno yet if im gonna do it tho
-
do it man! how hard can it really be! get a cheap polishing kit off t bay n some nitromors and your off ! the gti rims would be quite good to do as they quite flat ! if you mess it up no biggie! just repaint it!
