    Rattle-Canning my wheels which color? I want your input!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Car is a silver 1.8T Sport (unpainted lowers, for now)

    Options are:
    Silver
    Gunmetal
    Gloss Black
    Matte Black

    The reason im painting them is the wheels are scratched to hell, they cant turn out any worse than they already are . All colors not 'matte' will be finished using duplicolor's wheel coating. If you choose Matte Black, please suggest a product. Please do not say powder coat them, b/c i want the cheapest option. Maybe someone can do a photochop?

    I think black would look good.

    B6 A4 has the black RS reps on his w/ unpainted lowers and I think it looks nice.

    What rims are they? the 5 spokes?
    I was lost, and I'm still lost...but I feel so much better

    I think a dark matte gray that kind of matches the lowers would be pretty cool.

    Re: Rattle-Canning my wheels which color? I want your input!

    starting painting my first wheel tonight...everything looks great so far...i decided to just stick with silver...on a side note...i saw duplicolor now offers matte black as a wheel coating...didnt know that...so for all of you guys just using regular matte black cans, you now have this option...its probably much more durable.

    Sorry for the crappy pic but that was flat black, I did a good job and everybody asked me if they were powdercoated
