Okay the Autobody did a super job on my car, however during detailing the car they sprayed some shi# on the rims and the lips got fogged up. Well instead of calling me to tell me they just took off the clear coat and polished the wheels. Now, don't get me wrong they were shinny as a ***** but no clear = shinny = oxidation. I waxed the shiZ out of them and you can still see a light foggy haze. Well with that and my dumb as@ hit a curb this weekend I dropped off the rims to be fixed at Action Tire in Little Ferry NJ. Here is where I need help, they guy says to me I might as well switch up the color of the lips since they have to take the wheel apart to fix the curb rash and re-clear.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT GLOSS BLACK LIPS WITH COLOR MATCHED CENTER SPOKES. I have the GTS.

Pic is bare AL waxed waxed and waxed.

 

tell them to polish it and reclear them,...

 

Hmmm... I'm afraid if you painted the lips gloss black they might just blend in with the tires and make the rims look small. Just my 2 cents.

 

that would look hideous...keep it how it is. A good polishing at the wheel repair place should do the trick

 

I've seen it done on a Mercedes CLS and it looked pretty good, but sorry i dont have any pictures.

 

dood action tire is right by me i didnt even know they fixed rims hit me up on aim lets talk.

r0me aka bLk is my aim

 

Chrome them and never mess with the clear coat again.

 

ya just like gtwnu said, i think a black lip would blend in with the tire too much...i would just keep the lip the same color sweet looking wheels btw

 

What about diamond black the spokes and lips.

 

+1

 

Re-gloss it, looks good the way it is.

 

I think I am going with Gloss black the center and polish the lips.

 

Onky if you hook me up with the girl in your Aviator

 

lmdaoo her name is tiffany she lives in bergen county

 

I would have them re-clear coated and send the bill to the body shop.

 

Well this is the thing, they did an excellent job on the car but they did fuc# up the rim, however it is an aftermarket rim and I know they didn't do it on purpose. You have to pick and choose your fights and perhaps a bodyshop as good as these guys might not be the one to pick. I would have thought they would offer something for the problem and they did offer to 3m clear bra the car for 800, now I think thats not bad however I am not sure.

Anyway thats not the case right now, the case is my rims are at the shop and I need to figure out what I want to do with them.

 

what i would do is paint the centers black, and match the lip to the color of ur car..

 

I agree, pick and choose, but this is one I would pick.

I mean, they messed up the lip by putting the wrong substance on it. Instead of fessing up and offering to fix it, they decided they would take the clear coat off and polish the lip without asking. Those Volks are some very expensive wheels.

But, to each his own.

 

I hear ya dude, heart broken.

 

Anyhow, would look good polished and color-matched. Or diamond black.
