Default Photoshop Request

Hey guys im thinking of getting my volks (te-37) powdercoated a different colour, im not really liking the white anymore. I want something darker, a dark greyish or black colour but im not too sure how it would look with these rims. Here is a side shot of the car if anyone could photoshop a few different rim colours on that'd be appreciated!



PS - When they get powdercoated I assume the stickers will get taken off, is it possible to buy them again and stick them on? If so, where abouts are they available from?

Stick with white IMO, not a huge fan of black wheels on a blue car.

i think the black looks sweet and no brake dust issues

of course you could just not clean them ever again and get the same look for free! :P

nah white looks the best..

maybe have alook at bronze or gold for an alternative.

Also i wouldnt powdercoat them as the heat cycles may actually distort the rim? or change the integrity of a forged rim..

Painting them with a few coats of clear coat provides enough protection
