I downgraded wheels (a.k.a winter mode wheels)

What a dramatic diffrence of appearance, I just installed my winter wheels since this is prob the last good weekend us Candians will have. It ain't fun turning a cold wrench on a winter day. I got the wheels free from my girlfreind's old ride a 92 Golf Wolfsburg. They are 14" aluminum oiginally silver, i planned to wetsand and fully polish them but since they are for winter, i decided to try painting them bronze. I'm not very impressed with the looks, but atleast it's only for winter.

I'll miss these sexy babys.

You don't get anywhere fast in the snow wearing 17's on low pros.

Re: (Turbo_y8)

I can see traffic perfectly into my mirrors, so they must be serving there purpose, and that's the only purpose i need my mirrors to serve.

Here's s a pic of the wheels unpainted last year. Notice the corroson and the clearcoat peeling on corners.
