R32 Mk4 standard rims "chromed"??

[Guest0608]

Hey guys, 30th birthday coming up and the question of 'what do you want for your birthday" of course, boat, another R, turbo kit etc comes to mind!! haha but of course no budget like that.
Love the standard R wheels on the Mk4 and think they are the best to keep as it still shows it to be a R32, Thanks to JVLR32 my white rims do make the R look cool and they have grown on me but they are just starting to chip and scratch abit causing the white to dull (even after a polish and removal from the car JVLR32!, She still gets well looked after) and just now dont look there best, Only a thought but has anyone ever seen or done R32 rim's chrome? anyone got any pics and prices? Not sure if they would look good or not.............vwtech

hmm not sure about chrome. I'm thinking shadow chrome, gunmetal grey, black, anthracite grey.

Chrome pretty much ruins everything. Black or shadow chrome as above for the win.

I'm a fan of the shadow chrome but bling is not my thing...

[Guest0608]

Umm, really dont like the darker rims, been "googling" for hours and still cant find them on a R! (chrome)...

Chrome in most cases cheapens the look of things. If you want bling have them polished and then clear coated or something.

Personally I think the stock colour suits them best. Have them powdercoated something similar. (boring i know)

[Guest0608]

yeh just wanted something abit different like the white that they are...... polished and clear coated? polished alloy yeh? any pics?

Agreed, but there are some exceptions!

Yeah but thats only if you've got 4 dudes in the car wearing white baseball caps

Please don't do chrome, as the others have said, "It looks cheap".

Why not get them powdercoated white if you like the colour so much?

I'd go gloss black powdercoat if it was my R.
