Rim choices..

[Bain]

Found the rims I'll be getting. 19x8 WedsSport lightweight sa55ms..



I'll use my tyres that come with scirocco for now and then change them out to 245 or 255's later. Now to wait for the reply email on shipping costs.

Nice choice in rims Bain, keep us updated and let us know how it goes !

Any thoughts on gloss black talladegas going onto the scirocco?

I'm planning to do the same thing. Are you gonna paint them yourself or is there any good painter you would recommend?

No I won't go near myself. But I have called a few places, Tempe tyres and Ozzy tyres and both are charging about $100ea.
But I can't recommend anyone atm..

Pretty much any panel shop can do this for you. I think it would also work out cheaper than $100 a rim and you probably have a better chance of matching a specific colour you had in mind.

That $100 would include remove and replace the tyres as well as a Balance... so all in all not too bad a price...
I would want to see this done in the flesh first before I made up my mind.
Depends on the colour choice as well... something similar to Black chrome would be good.

And some loan wheels for 3 days included..
But unless you take just the rim to a panel beater, they won't be able to do it in most cases.

does Tempe tyres provide loan wheels?
I have been there before and highly recommended their serivce.

[why_999]

Yeah they provide the loan wheels. But you'll to book the 'job' in for the loan wheels.

Cool they're just down the road where I work, might just go there... How much can they stuff-up a small paint job??

[kche3572]

I really like the gloss black Golf R option rims.
do you know the colour code for that?
