Painting My Volks

So*Cal-Si · 04-14-2008, 11:32 PM

Hey guys, I just wanted some opinons on painting my rims. I have white TE37s on the my NHBP right now but they are not only a pain in the ass to clean but getting a little old. I was thinking about Time Attack colors but its been done. Any suggestions?

So sick of the TA style. But since it's Volks it'll be cool.

So*Cal-Si · 04-14-2008, 11:39 PM

it really goes with the care too. I just know it could look good other ways.

finallymanual · 04-14-2008, 11:43 PM

Noooooo......keep it white...... white TEs are hard to come by. TA are so over played.

Toxis · 04-15-2008, 03:41 AM

^Agreed! plus, isn't it a moral sin to paint Volks?

JeShUa · 04-15-2008, 04:00 AM

White on black is hoot. Original finish is pwn.

Toxis · 04-15-2008, 04:05 AM

I guess you could always paint them with a rainbow lip...

hehe j/k, that'd be ***.

paolo · 04-15-2008, 06:21 AM

don't paint it.
sell it to me :)

those rims will lose it's value instantly when you paint them

instead of having problems cleaning them, you'll get problems with chip-off paint.
i'd pick the former over the latter anytime of the day :)

s0opa_Si · 04-15-2008, 09:08 AM

your rims! do what you want! go gunmetal!
or black with white lip?? lol

mattsbobo · 04-15-2008, 09:47 AM

I love white TE-37s. You want to be different? Get them powdercoated red. That would look absolutely sick on NHB!

So*Cal-Si · 04-15-2008, 08:08 PM

thanks for the ideas. I really want to keep them white, but Ive got minor curb rash on all four rims. Not my doing, very long story, but it was stolen and oddly enough recovered by the local honda dealership. So, its either paint them white to cover the rash or paint them altogether a different color.

post up pic's of your car.

dont waste a perfect volk wheel by painting it

Supercharged · 04-15-2008, 10:13 PM

If you want something that is different and would look really cool go flat black

***senfinger*** · 04-15-2008, 10:32 PM

Paint and Volks should never go together on the same subject line lol
(Sell them and buy a set you like)

powdercoating volks is not always a bad thing...i got my te37s powdercoated gloss black. They used to be bronze. Heres a couple pictures to show you:

**webby** · 04-16-2008, 01:04 AM

oh so pretty

s0opa_Si · 04-16-2008, 09:13 AM

^ you said it webbay!

mattsbobo · 04-16-2008, 09:21 AM

Those black Volks are definitely sweet looking.

But to the OP: I still say powdercoat them red. You did say that you wanted to go for something different. Red on black would be super sick, and would not be overdone like the T/A theme.
