Wheel help !

[rfzd]

I have a spare set of 3MPS rims but they have no rubber but at least they are in canberra :P

yeah thought about 2 pac but think from research PC will be more durable. Just what I have decided, I know there are heaps of differing views out there. Hmmmm rfzd that could possibly work as I'll have to get the tyres removed and all that anyways......decisions decisions !!!

I keep seeing these damn white GTI's with gloss black wheels and love the look of it.

Yeah BB: still got my aftermarket rims but think they would look schmick in black now !!

I got told 2-pak is what most rims are and that it's better (can't remember the reasons behind it, cracking or chipping or something) In saying that there are different views. I have also heard that PC is longer lasting, and that its possibly better in terms of cracking, chipping etc. So it depends who you talk to and what your experience is from the two types. Mine seem ok, the only paint coming off is where the wheel nuts are due to them being so tight and turning on the surface. You can't tell though cause the nut covers the small chips of paint when tightened. If you go with PC, I'm keen to know what you think, perhaps some pics?

This is on a blue MPS3 right....hmm that should pretty bold and stunning actually! Are the callipers stock or painted? Just FYI my painted rims were ~$150 a rim, that won't help just letting you know!

If you need them just let me know, sitting in the shed at the moment not being used

Thanks heaps, probably in a month or so I might shoot you a message !! Busy busy at the moment.

Yeah its an AB 3, the calipers are painted blue but I'll redo them again and add some clear coat when I take the wheels off etc. I think it should come up pretty well, with the dark tint windows etc....probably darken the side indicator aswell but see what happens.

You should get rfzd's wheels painted/coated and give him your old ones when you are finished. Saves mulitple remove a refits of tyres.
