Alright guys so i know everyone on here has always talked crap about my Volks being abused or garbage. Well first off i would just like to say to those people, go buy more rotas and STFU. Now on to better things...

So i have been dealing with the contractor's insurance company in order to replace my bent TE and things haven't been going well. They will NOT budge with offering me 50% of the cost to replace the wheel. They keep arguing that they dont have proof it happened on their job site. SO... i decided to look around to see about getting the bend fixed and stumbled upon a new wheel retailer here in Murfreesboro called, WHEEL WORKZ. I spoke with the guys up there and figured out that they can fix the bend, but cant guarentee the paint to match. I also stopped by PowderPro and spoke with them about having the wheels powdercoated. Some of you may know Zong had his blue Enkei's done there at PowderPro so you know they do a pretty damn good job.

This is where i am stuck. I cant decide what i want to do with the wheels. I have many options as far as paint, powdercoating, and refinishing. I'm sure most of you know what the wheels look like as they are, but here a pic of them on the car to help out with the opinions and some pics of the colors too.

theyre both sexy. just dont get black wheels and your golden paul.
Matt, I'm getting black wheels just to piss you off
I have to agree the polished=played out, polished lip naw, if you really want it to look good go a solid color.
id get them powdercoated "chrome" before id polish them. when i had my si's, theyd look baller as hell when i cleaned them, but a day later they were dirty and looked worse than splatter painted hubcaps. matter of fact, get the whole car powdercoated chrome!

GAY! but black wheels are played on imo. but like i said in one of my posts before, do what makes you happy....not something because other people like it.
Well thanks for all of the ideas and votes guys. I'm actually speaking with a new insurance guy cause they switched people on me. So i'm actually in the process of convincing him to give me the full price for the replacement wheel $700! But it's looking like i'm most likely going with the teal or the black chrome sorta color. I've just gotta work out something with PowderPro and Wheel Workz to finalize everything. But just so everyone knows, i'll most likely be having all of this done for half the price of a new replacement Volk, so it's all good and dandy!
teal will be so gay ... so gay that it will make matt's mom think he's straight again! :lol:

i, as well, am getting black wheels to piss matt off - they are gonna be glorious
I skimmed the thread, but I vote for a full polish.

teal, green, blue, doesnt matter ... its still way too "honda" for you and your car

it would be better for kenneth, lol
Haha! But the car is still a honda at heart. But i guess i could treat it more like the so called "luxury" car its supposed to be. I'm really leaning towards the dark polished/chrome or whatever.
nah, you dont have to treat it like an acura ... just do something that looks clean instead of h-t, teal is too loud and obnoxious for your car ... fresh black paint and it would look super clean, but did matt ever finish ur hood?
