Need some wheel advice...
Hey guys, I have already asked the opinion of my fellow Volkswagen enthusiasts here in Michigan but would like a few outside opinions as well..
As it sits today:
The question is...should I re-coat them the way they are with the purple or go with a Corvette Jet Stream Blue or Mini Cooper Electric Blue?
Now I know most of you wouldn't want to drive around with purple lipped rims but I like the uniqueness of them and the attention they get...but would like opinions so I can decide what to schedule with the powder-coater

I would stick with the purple, but maybe get some tasteful purple accents elsewhere on your car.

Re: Need some wheel advice...
Coming from another VW guy, I do not like the purple. I would prefer just a normal polished lip, but it's whatever you like. I think the Corvette blue might look catchy and unique and doesn't look as out of place as the purple.

Re: Need some wheel advice...
definitely not the purple. The corvette blue looks best.

Re: Need some wheel advice...
Yeah, i'm going to say no on purple. For me, i'd polish them, silver looks killer with some polished metal/chrome on the car

" I like the uniqueness of them and the attention they get"
thats like a girl who wears a low cut shirt for attention
not all attention is good attention man
i just don't think any of the accents work to be honest
the big reason is that its only on your rims
i agree with the previous poster, polish those lips to a mirror shine !

Re: Need some wheel advice...
another vote for just a polished lip. that purple throws off the clean look of your car, especially with those nice looking BBS/BBS-look-alike wheels.

Re: Need some wheel advice...
Just my two cents, because I really like those centers - that's a great wheel choice for the car. So....either polished, or if you have to have a color...black. Unless you're considering other color accents to match I think purple (or blue) sticks out, but not in a good way...more of a Pep Boy's/JC Whitney kind of way.
