Title: Wheel Refurb
Post by: S33KRP on August 04, 2016, 02:52:52 pm

Booked the car in to have the wheels fully refurbed on Monday but im unsure on what colour to go for.
Its a reflex silver golf GTI. I am thinking of going a gun metal grey colour but unsure, any advice would be great?????????

Depends on personal prefrence.

White worm corrosion is inevitable on diamond cut wheels but they are also the nicest. To avoid this you could opt for powder coating all one colour or even painting the face silver and inserts a darker colour so they look diamond cut.

I recently had mine diamond cut and then painted the inserts dark grey

^^^^ They look good.  :happy2:

Or the Monza 2 (Black insert) or ED30 Detriot/Huffs style always looks good....
