Talking My New Project

I have a buddy of mine picking these up for me as I type:
http://newjersey.craigslist.org/pts/1611710679.html

and will be taking them for powdercoating next week......I couldn't pass it up.

$100 for 4 17" wheels + $180 for powdercoating = a very happy new wheel owner!!!

Any thoughts on wheel color????

What wheels do you have now, and what are you doing with them?

I've got winter Borbet wheels on the car now and stock 5 spokes sitting at home. I'm going to see how these turn out and will probably stick with them as my spring/summer wheels, use the stock 5 spoke wheels for winter use, and let my wife use the Borbets on her B7 next winter.

but judging by your pearl white... why not a black chrome finish (obviously i have no idea what the new rims look like either so dont kill me if that sounds rediculous)

Sorry about the post being deleted.....the seller was quick to remove it after the sale. I'll have photos up of the wheels in a bit.

I know they don't look like much now, but hopefully in the next couple of weeks I can get them powder coated and wrapped in new rubber
