rozzaa146 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 HI thereI recently bought my lupo and it came with these alloys:I am tempted to get them sprayed black and put them on my lupo but im not sure if they would look nice or not? Opinions would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shearermax Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 i believe they are the g60 wheels so if your selling them they are not just the price of standard steel wheels bare that in mind i like the g60s so i would keep them, personally i would spray them silver or get the refurbed but the choiice is yours 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3LLIOTT Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 They look like G60's/Passat Steels whatever you want to call them. I personally think they look good, but I'd get rid of the pink/white combination and keep them one colour.I've got a set on my Lupo which I painted cream: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you get the central part of the wheel? It looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3LLIOTT Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Thanks Rozzaa I got them from the shop next door to where I work, as we have a sort of contra deal between us. There are a few sets on Ebay if you wanted a set though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T3LLIOTT Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 If it was me, I wouldn't go black, as they would look like normal steel wheels and blend in with the car (being black) and also the tyres. Silver G60's always look nice and white would contrast nicely with the black imo!The choice is yours though, just make sure you post some pictures up!

rozzaa146 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Haha good choice Just make sure you give them a nice sand down and prime them for a better finish! Thank you! I am looking about how to take the paint off the alloys and re do them and came across this small tutorial:You will then need to sand them down using rough paper, 40 or 80.Then some wet 400 untill the surface is smoothish, then some wet 1000.Then primer, 3 coats, then 1200 wet.Now spray the wheels your colour or choice 2 or 3 times. Then 1200 wet. Now polish.Does that sound good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
