^Yes $600 out the door is what I was quoted, but I have a feeling some extra charges will come into play when all is said and done, so I have about a grand set aside for this project. I still haven't decided on a color yet, idk why it's so difficult for me. I had my heart set on mag blue because I wanted something different... but everyone keeps telling me no, lol. I also like gunmetal but I feel like it's so played out. Who knows what I'll end up with.

For now, the wheels are just sitting in my basement collecting dust.

Get them done in Mag Blue. I'll be getting my VarrStoens done soon in Mag Blue.

I want gunmetal but I also feel that it's played out. If you want to be a little unique and want to stick out from the rest of the crowd.. go with Mag Blue.

How do people not like these?!

I would suggest getting these powdercoated and not painted.

You have higher offsets though.. mine are +22 all around so it's going to be harder to fit. What size tires are you running?? I'm hoping to have mine fixed and mounted by May/June.

Haven't driven on them personally. But I was a passenger in his car when they were bent and it wasn't too bad, just mad a loud sound at like woo woo woo woo and vibrated a bit at high speeds. If these are fixable, I'm sure yours are as well.

Go Mag Blue - worst case scenario, you hate them and need to repaint... not going to kill you. Actually worst case scenario is you do something else, then always wonder how they would have been in Mag Blue, and are never happy ::

^ Agreed. Have you seen the Mag Blue that the shop carries? From the pictures I've seen online, Mag Blue is usually a darker shade of blue.

I have considered white, and I actually really like it.. but I think it's too race car looking... I want something more subtle... like mag blue.

I wanted to see what white with a polished lip would look like, but couldnt find anyone who has done that.

Mag Blue! Mag Blue! Mag Blue!

C'mon everyone is cheering for ya. I'm confident you'll make the right decision

IF you do go with Mag Blue.. make sure the color matches with the Volks Mag Blue.. some versions look really off and it'll make the wheels look cheap.

If you really want to push the envelope run it reversed staggered! Not sure if it'll fit but I don't see the purpose in running a rear staggered set up on a fwd car. It will kill any lift throttle oversteer and thats the most fun part about our cars! Color wise I like white or gun metal but mag blue is pretty sick just not for my car haha

You know what mrs tak!!!!! I hate you.


Two of the wheels are finished... but unfortunately (I know this will be a huge let down for many) I went with something other than Mag Blue..

The shop has been very busy therefore the turn around time for the really f*cked up wheels has been longer than expected...

Will post some teasers soon!!! I think I made the right decision!!

If worst comes to worst, and I change my mind.. I'll just get them powdercoated. Lol
