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.

Looks good man. My buddy Alex (he owns the green S15 on here) was looking for decals because he's resanding/painting his TE's and was telling me how insane the prices were.
wasn't sayin i'd charge you that much just sayin thats how much they go for from Mackin unless you got a hook up like me :) lol
polished mother fucker.

sell them and get some zephers =D
holy shit 250 for some stickers!?!
But i guess i could treat it more like the so called "luxury" car its supposed to be.
hahaha
the guy that put the stickers on the rota grids that I had got the whole sticker kit for like 60 bucks off ebay. and they were the real thing. Paul even confirmed their authenticity lol

HAHAH great question?btw your rota grids are coming along Paul!puahahahaaha
okay the sticker from MACKIN cost $250. I will have a set soon but i'm not selling the for that much. but i do want like $100 for them. If not i'll keep them for when i get some used TE37's and I re powder them RED!

what color are they? if he doesnt pick them up i might. mine are peeling. if they are real ones.

thread jacked. =D
yes they are real. I ordered RED TE37's for my R and after 10 months i'm getting my money back along with some stickers since he feels bad about the whole deal.
damn 10 months thats like 8 to long for me
someone is a moron for paying 250 for 8 stickers.
you can tell the wheels are real by the casting marks.


see.. no stickers needed when painting/pc'ing/ect..

volks don't have casting marks all they have is the plates on the inside and if you know what your lookin at you can tell real TE37 from ROTA's by the bolt pattern.

When you order custom colors or sizes from Mackin they tell you that it will be at least 8 months for them to make them.
