Default Got my wheels back from the powdercoater

i got my wheels back last night and put my extra stickers on it so i can still show everyone that they're volks here's some before and after shots. i still need to get a few things like tires lugs and shock/struts before they go on but i think you get the idea. hope you like

no they aren't takata green but the powder color is called evergreen. in the sunlight they're so hot and and in the shadow they're a bit darker which is what i wanted i didn't want like a funky neon green on there you know

Can't say that I am a huge fan of those rims. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for TE37s and I am all for powdercoating... just seems wrong to powdercoat such hawt rims.
I respect you for getting true Volk rims. I'm so sick of seeing Rota's, ARs, Motegis, and all the other cheap wheels... just not my thing. One of these days I'll get down to business and get a set of Gram Lights on the slow boat across the Pacific. :D

yeah for all four. i got them done for 100 bucks cheaper cause i went to high school with his son. but no they didn't have to sandblast them first because they were powdercoated white to begin with and i believe the shop is call Powdercoating Speacialties.

if it is a 2 or 3 piece rims they could take them apart but you might have some assembly issues because of the thickness of the poedercoat. or you might be able to just mask the lip off.
