    Hard to tell from the picture, what wheels are they?

    My vote goes to gray / anthracite on the candy white

    I like the brushed look you have now. If you must change then I would do dark gray or black.

    go for a colour ! When i can i'm getting RSe14 powder coated yellow on my T red R . Colour match your wheels to your tails, burgundy would look good on your CW.

    I think gray would be a better contrast for candy white. I think black tends to get too washed out against the white.

    Agree with Dutch- ABT, your wheels look sick as is. But if you insist, please don't go with black. I really don't feel the black wheels on the candy white. I'm usuall not a fan of black wheels at all because you can't see the contours of the wheels.

    Everybody can have a different opinion. However, I have mine powder coated in black on CW for only
    a week and have received 3 compliments on my street alone how much better the car looks now.

    I love the look of the black on the cw. It was between satin black and charcoal grey. I could have gone either way This will have to satisfy me for a while.. I need to use my funds for other stuff that doesn't involve my vw addiction.

    That was fast! I can't figure out why in my area they want two weeks and a thousand dollars to powder coat wheels...

    OMFG!! Ship um to me. Our local guy does solid colors 50 each and multi 75 plus depending on mask times. That's retarded! Oh I guess that was last years prices but I'm taking my stock rims to them. Think I'm going matte black.

    That's not that bad! I want to buy a set of white NUEs, but I hear that Rotiform is terribly behind, so I think I'll buy them and have them powdercoated later.
