Default My new VOLK TE37's what color should I paint them.

I've just bought these wheels for my eg9. They aren't in the best shape, few nicks, etc. Help me decide a color to paint these *****. Keep in mind I've had almost every color wheel imaginable, green, baby blue, neon pink, bronze, neon yellow, black w/ neon yellow lip. The pics of the car and my old wheels are in my sig.

If it ain't white, it ain't right..

Leave em - just clean em up and fix any scuffs. All the colored wheels are gay as aids.

yeh I'm used to running 17's these are 16's I keep telling myself to go back green cuz I think its a sick color for the car. but I'll prob mount em up white, put em on the car and see how they look. before I decide. If they look alot smaller I"ll probably go with a darker color. If they look about the same as 17's I might go bright, or leave em white. They really need repainting though guys. these pics make em look 100% better than they are.

I bought beat up TE37s couple months ago and i had the profesionally powder coated with Time Attack finish..they look so much better..so i would say go with time attack.

That prob would look good but I'm prob not gonna powdercoat. And want to go with a solid color because painting them like time attack might not come out to the best. I don't know. Do you have any pics though I would love to see.

Ah, what's up Heath?

16's are plenty big on a 92-95, perfect size IMO:



Keep 'em white!

F*CK YES Brewer. that car does look sick, those are 16's they look huge. I'm leaning alot closer to white now. it sucks though cuz I already started scuffing one of them its not baaad, but I'll have to polish it back out. I still have to get stickers too. I got the guy up at Radio Active workin on printin' me some, I want printed not die cuts I'll see how that turns out, but I don't want the OG's cuz they come off and theyr'e $$.

Oh yeah I forgot some of my friends know me as Heath, but yeah just been gettin rowdy ya know, the usual. I think the last time I saw you was at the gas station in Chelsea maybe. You were sayin you wanted a 4dr. I've got one for sell as soon as the title comes in, long story. You can come by the shop and check it out. Its my old automatic. $1000 to you sir. I know you could do it up right. Shiii holla at me man. proshate the pic and advice.

come on with it brew
we could do it after hours and I'll hook it up for ya.

I'm pretty much stuck on white now. I've already got the stickers off, just need to clean em up some. Tires coming from Bridgestone, should be here monday, the new 760 potenza's. should look sick on there, and I should be rollin monday. Just need the damn stickers, and still gotta get ext. studs,lugs,wheel bearings. Damn I didn't know so many people took it to heart about the wheel color. I guess OG is the sH*t though. Thanks guys.

ya know I actually thought about that. The valve stems were faded so I hit em with a bench brush to get the rest of the blue off. This was floating in my head evertime I look down at my desk and see silver stems. But it soon goes away after I remember how much work it takes to keep em looking good. Plus I'm just not a huge fan of silver colored wheels. I mean thats what 99.9% off the vehicles on the road have. You feel me?
