    Spare 18" rims - what to do..what to do....

    So here's the dilemma, I received an extra set of rims with the Bora when I purchased it. Sounds good except for they're not my taste. I much prefer the rims the car already has on. These spare rims are 18" and will fit the Bora but they're in pretty average condition. See image below.



    So, I'm thinking of restoring and painting them to sell but I'm not sure which colour to do. Here's a bit of a poll to see what would be the best colour for selling them. What are your thoughts guys?

        There's value in the exercise of painting them. I'm not expecting to "make money" by painting them. They are 18" x 8" and they fit my Mk IV Bora so I take it they're 5 x 100 stud pattern.

          Well, after a massive showing in the poll, I've decided to go with a metallic charcoal colour. I've just put the first coat one of the wheels as a test and I'm quite happy with the colour. All things going well, I'll have them painted by the weekend.

              They should have the specs stamped on them too - something like 18x8 ET35 or similar.

              PS They look great painted!

                mhemming, my Bora is the dark metallic blue. Not sure the exact name of the colour.

                Manaz, thanks for the feedback! Exact specs are: 18 x 8", ET40, PCD 100mm, weight 10kg
