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.

Why mess with a good thing?!?!

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.
