Spraying my mk4 wheels

[Alex 17]

Right after looking for wheels for a while i have given in, And am now looking at getting mine sprayed. Im thinking anthrice??

I havent seen my alloys at all yet on another mk4.. but if anyone has them on there mk4 in black or any other colour could you post them?

What do you guys think ? Im not sure if they will look .. Crap if i get them done..

Also check out my car thread in the readers rides section if you need more pictures or whatever .
Thanks in advance ,
Alex,

I'd nevermind spraying standard wheels and just get a nice set of rims stuck on it to be honest

If you are on a budget then do em but personally I am not a fan of them standard wheels and think you may get them done but wish you had got others instead. Post that pic in the photoshop sections I'm sure someone will sort it for you.

Well im not a fan of them either.. But thats what they came with ;( , I want new ones but im so picky , And would like too keep saveing for a new car when im 18..

Only wheels i really like are the kei fin 7's 700 quid! , And octy vrs alloys.. i can get a set of ebay for 300 quid but then i need wheels and a respray..

I think they look fine as they are. Something different. If you did spray them a dark colour it'd make them look smaller.

What about spraying them white? Might make them appear bigger

get some rs4's on it mate http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/17-new-rs4-al...14&_trkparms=72:1301|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318 . iv got them on mine, look very smart

Yeh vRS wheels are expensive as the standard tyres are too fat. Aftermarket wheels do not fair well being powdercoated if you were considering that, the way the company I went to really do not like doing them.

 

[Alex 17]

Well. The lad at the wheel place owes me favor so it's free ,so mabey I should just go for it ? What u think ??

 

[Aimez]

If its free then guess you not got much to loose and you say you want to save for a better car for the future. You can get a nice set of wheels then.

Like Altech said I wouldnt go too dark, it would make them look quite small. Maybe a loght gray colour, but not black

If i went to a company and they said they didnt like spraying aftermarket wheels i wouldnt let them take the dustcaps off, never mind spray them. Some cheaper aftermarket wheels are a bit pants when it comes to quality, but its not enough to warrent any problems. Me thinks they like cutting corners.

Anthracite or white?

Why would it mean that they cut corners? They did not say they did not do them just that they get a longer life on standard wheels. They do not spray they are powdercoated so maybe some cheap wheels do not stand up to powder coating? The place I went to are experts in wheels that is all they do they do wheels for Porche Sussex so can't be that bad and did a great job on mine.
