Hey guys, I have already asked the opinion of my fellow Volkswagen enthusiasts here in Michigan but would like a few outside opinions as well..



As it sits today:

The question is...should I re-coat them the way they are with the purple or go with a Corvette Jet Stream Blue or Mini Cooper Electric Blue?



Now I know most of you wouldn't want to drive around with purple lipped rims but I like the uniqueness of them and the attention they get...but would like opinions so I can decide what to schedule with the powder-coater
 
Coming from another VW guy, I do not like the purple. I would prefer just a normal polished lip, but it's whatever you like. I think the Corvette blue might look catchy and unique and doesn't look as out of place as the purple.
 
Yeah, i'm going to say no on purple. For me, i'd polish them, silver looks killer with some polished metal/chrome on the car
 
" I like the uniqueness of them and the attention they get"



thats like a girl who wears a low cut shirt for attention



not all attention is good attention man



i just don't think any of the accents work to be honest



the big reason is that its only on your rims





i agree with the previous poster, polish those lips to a mirror shine !
 
another vote for just a polished lip. that purple throws off the clean look of your car, especially with those nice looking BBS/BBS-look-alike wheels.
 
Just my two cents, because I really like those centers - that's a great wheel choice for the car. So....either polished, or if you have to have a color...black. Unless you're considering other color accents to match I think purple (or blue) sticks out, but not in a good way...more of a Pep Boy's/JC Whitney kind of way. :D
 
First off, get rid of those amber sidemarkers......



Second, I would get rid of the TA theme all together. I you need to get your suspension lower and more aggressive if you want to pull something off like that......



If you were to do something, I would TA them red..........
