not sure what I want to do yet, but my old wheels got some scuffs on the one side from a previous owner… so I was thinking about either A. Painting them black, 20 bucks in paint B. Powder coating them black 40 a wheel C. selling them and getting these, 150 a wheel… ![http://www.edgeracing.com/media/image/1/11/58/zoom.jpg](http://www.edgeracing.com/media/image/1/11/58/zoom.jpg) what do ya think? for those that never saw my car before ![http://www.pittspeed.com/gallery/photos/98.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/gallery/photos/98.jpg) ---

what size are the new ones you want? i think if you plan to powdercoat your old ones, i would go with a gunmetal and not black. black looks too much like honda’s or ghetto kids who took their hub caps off ---

new ones are 17" as well… not sure if I want to do that again either, might go to a 16"… with my suspension and the 17s on it makes for a quite annoying and uncomfortable ride… see I was thinking like a slate gray or either a gloss black… ---

i have winter wheels, aka steelies… so its no big deal for the winter… i have my current wheels for sale right now so we will see what happens the look i am going for I want to go for the deep dish look. I feel I want to have something with a lip to give the car at first look a lil more depth… i have never scene flik on a MK3 jetta, before so i was tempted to do that… borbets are nice but IMO a lil played out… ---
