Great build thread, and your private plate is bad a$$! Personally, I'd keep the wheels the colour they are. Keep up the good work!

Cheers pal. I think I am going to leave them the colour they are. I might get some plasti dip in few colours and experiment with them :laugh:

So got another set of wheels as I liked them so much and have been after them for while so couldn't pass them up  :laugh:

TSW Nurburgrings. 18X8 Et45 and only weigh 18 lbs each!

The finish they have is a machined face with gun metal inserts.



After roughly positioning them up to the car I wasn't keen. I had half a can of plasti dip left and found a pic of them in a darker colour on an R32 so I decided to try it!











Opinions on these please?

Thanks Mandy! Its amazing what a colour change can do.

can you let us know how durable the plasti dip is on the wheels.


I've used plasti-dip before (documented in this build thread) and its very durable stuff. I used it for months before actually getting my wheels powdercoated. I cannot recommend this stuff enough.

I can't even remember lol I originally wanted these wheels for performance reasons but really liked the style too. Just not too fond of the machined finish they had.

iv got them in 18 x 8/9 et45 and they fit perfectly
