    Smile MK6 Golf GTI Wheel color and Suspension Help *PIC INSIDE*

    Hey guys, just need some help with the more imaginatie/photoshop pros and people that just have good taste.



    ok the 2 things i need help with is

    1) I wanna powdercoat these rims but i don't know what color? (Eg: Matt/Gloss black on the ouside, white on the inside etc etc or just leave them the way they are?)

    2) I plan to lower the car with H&R Super Sport Springs. What do you guys think?


    Any comments/help would be much appreciated.

    Kev

    looks very nice as is.
    i think that if you powder coat them black they may be a little too hidden/blended with the actual car. I would prbaby go for a matte effect un metal grey. would look pretty hot..(not tht it doesnt already)

    would u mind telling me where you got the rims from and how much for?
    Thnks

    Actually got them from my Volkswagon dealer, as he is really connected with rims etc. They are meant to be RS4 kinda rim. But a little different. 19 x 8 in size.

    Cost 2500 if memory serves me right.

    So you reckon leave them as they are or..? kinda got confused lol, I just wanna powder coat them something so they are really unique.

    is that including rubber?
    umm well if you want to powder coat i would prbably go for the graphite grey option.
    I know these aren't your rims but this is the colours you will probably be looking at.
    I like the graphite grey on a black car personally...but it's up to you.

    I think it looks great the way it is, and will look even better once it's lowered. I'd wait until after seeing it lowered before deciding whether to powder coat them. If you do, gun metal grey would look nice I think.

    I'd get Euro plates before you spend another dollar on the wheels.
