thoughts on painting the VR stockies

I'd say if it was an early VR, it takes getting used to but black may look awesome with the rest of the black trim. Otherwise original silver FTW.

I think I'm gonna make mine silver if I ever get spare money..haha such a list of more important things though.

I am going to spray mine matt black cause Sean(Flaps) said so

I will be doing this when I put my other wheels on though

Nice, Steve. Will have to post some pics when they're done. Would love to see them on a white VR for reference

Picked my Mk 4 up on Friday, fitted the stereo on Sunday as well as the vr6 tail lights and today, tuesday I had the windows tinted and tonight I painted the wheels black.
Just a quick job, scotch brite then etch and the just black enamel to see how they look.
I think they look great, I will see how long the paint lasts as I will need some new tyres in a month or so and will wait till then to get them done properly , ie blasted and powder coatd.
i will post some pics tomorrow.

I used generic auto paint on my wheels and they're still on with no damamge from brake dust, with the only damage being when i dropped a wheel on its face

Its lasted for almost a year and some 5,000 odd kays, unless you did a really poor prep job there is not going to be a reason for you to re-do them for quite some time.

Back on track...Man, if my VR was silver I'd love it even more (don't know how THAT's possible

) but yeah I'm still wondering whether I should do like..a charcoal with a clear, or even look into a shadowed chrome look. What do you guys think?

Go SILVER!
