Anyone seen dsg wheels on a Red L?

[x_man586]

Everyone around here has black wheels. Kind of a fad I guess. I want to paint my wheels but don't want to follow the crowd. What do y'all think of grey wheels?

I Was so tempted in painting my stock wheels black to put on my L..But i also thought about buying black wheels to put on the L, but i think it would look ok if you have the correct tint to match maybe

I'm a little biased..........mine's rolling aftermarkets that are black with a polished lip

Buying a set of wheels is out of the question. Very little $

 

[MaLLo_SVT_150]

Question is which set of svt wheel do you own? because i believe the 01-02 wheels look best in black or dsg

03-04

If you want to do something different then paint the middle of the spokes of the 03-04 wheels in a dsg color. I posted a pic of how they looked on my red L, I'll have to see if I can dig it up.

Here we go, brake dust gives you ideas!

i'm pretty sure "Tallfreak" has some on his, looks good

No kidding about the brake dust, that is where my idea came from. Mabye I will do the opposite silver on the inside dsg on the outside.

I was "WTF, someone actually mentioned my truck."

I like it, but I wish I could afford to powdercoat them right now. The paint is just Duplicolor graphite colored wheel paint. They have no clear on them because the clear kept going milky on me.

Sorry for the crappy pics. Its all I have with these wheels.

 

[z28Eater]

yeah man i remember you showed me the pictures that day, looks great IMO very good job man

 

[SVT-BansheeMan]

I dont like it. Looks like they are just dirty

 

[tallfreak]

The pics don't do it justice.

 

[x_man586]

It is always cool when somone says Soandso did that and it looked great. I like it.

That looks killer! I have always liked those wheels. My wheels are my least favorite of all the years. I wish the original owner had left the 01 wheels on it, but the 03-04 are a close second.

Looks okay. But i favor black especially with a red lid!

I agree....that grey just looks like brake dust from 6 months worth of driving.

 

[busakiller]

you guys are weird.

 

[tallfreak]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but anyone with their head on straight can tell that it isn't brake dust. If the truck stays clean, they look like painted/pc'd wheels.

The color is BMW medium titanium metallic, but its pretty close to DSG.
