that would make me paranoid! If your battery is drained you are SOL. That SB track with the volks though is 1badmutha!!!

 

I like the aluminum more than the painted, but What I think would be cool is if you could almost get a black laquer to color them with.. so they were almost tinted black not painted. Cover them with a semitransparent black gloss. That would be sweet. Like the color of some of the new style rims out... where the arent black.. they are some inbetween black and silver.

 

i just had my doorhanldes painted and clearcoated...and it looks sweet
