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.

Yeah he did it the night before IA actually. And its looking like him, charles, and adler may even be doing the frest coat of paint you speak of. I've just gotta get started on the body work first.

Anodized red would look good and unique. LIke this:




But I think a media blasted finish (satin) with polished lip would be TITS! Make sure you get a clear powdercoat on the satin part though or they will get nasty-dirty real quick.

Any other opinions before i have them done? I'm still INCREDIBLY indecisive!!
I actually kind of like them how they are. Maybe repaint all 4 the same again, or Rays Solaris Silver.

Do what you want. :thumbup:

I think this is a classic look:

I don't care. 21.55 lbs is still weight. I run 16/17s and 15/16s so wheels larger than 18" scare me.

Yeah that's a rediculous weight considering how HUGE they are.

On a side note, the wheels are up for trade on H-T and i guess on here too
Well guys the bronze days are officially over. Just got a pic of the wheels after being mediablasted.

they look good ... better not come out teal!
Who are you having do this again?
Yeah i think i'm leaning more towards the polished/chrome Lenny. And i've never been too fond of polished lips on TEs/LEs. And i'm having the mediablasting done by a special friend, and the powdercoating will be done by PowderPro in the boro.
I showed you why you should do polished, now freakn' do it
Candy Teal I almost got powder pro to do same color for some wheels for me.
