Default Painted Wheels?

http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3775113

Hey guys I have been looking to see what these wheels looking liked painted. I can't find a pic anywhere so if you could help me out possibly it would be awesome. It would be best to see it on a car but either would work.

I've always thought they'd look cool polished. Kinda like TT fat-fives, only not fat.

That's what i've been telling myself but i just can't picture it. I dont have the money to fork over for some rims right now so i'm just trying to do something to satisfy me until i do. Maybe i'll just suck it up and do it.

It'll look better than not painted.

search the forum, I know people on here have painted the Stock 16's black before. Personally I am kinda liking the idea of polishing them

the zine' has a pretty active Cinci crew that seems to be meeting more often but I haven't personally heard of much.


Although I am out of the loop being car-less in C-Bus for the year and then I'll have my car with me up here in C-bus next year.
