I'm omw to drop them off and still dont know black or polished lip lmao

Def gunmetal Centers tho.

Appreciate all the opinions. Very much appreciated.

Depending on what the guy says I'll make a final decision.

Polish those lips up! Then i wanna see them at a meet up in NY when it gets warmer out :tup:

chuckd05 01-19-2011 09:37 PM

Went with a polished lip and a charcoal grey center... possibly a shade darker than some of the lighter gunmetals..

Will be done in a week

It was tough to not do black lips but the guy in there was really cool and we arranged a deal that if I want to go black on the lips afterwards that he would take care of me. So maybe a summer polished than next summer black.


He is a honest straight shooter that had me dieing at some of his responses to callers who didn't really know what they were saying . He was borderline rude To some but only if you didn't know what you were talking about. He was extremely nice to me tho and explained that volks and works are his favorite wheels to refinish as the quality of the metal and two piece construction are top notch.

He is super confident in his work And seems VERY knowledgable. I'm confident they will come out great , I'm going to do a nice write up on his shop upon completion.

Ran me 600 otd for all 4 repolished and centers changed
To charcoal grey. Not too bad.

Now I need to decide on what rubber to use. I am leaning towards 255/285 re11 But may do the hankook 275/305 combo. I have until march to decide that tho.

als has a great gunmetal color, did my wheels there 2 years ago in gunmetal. loved how they looked.

chuckd05 02-01-2011 10:25 PM

The guy is such a character... He speaks his mind and tells you how it is. No *** kissing from him to his customers thats for sure

docaam 02-01-2011 11:39 PM

that came out very nice,

Is it powder coating or paint? as guys here are very reluctant to powder coat Volks, dont know why?

Boost_lee 02-01-2011 11:51 PM

nice results!

fairladyZ34 02-02-2011 04:03 AM
