    I actually don't think the windows are white on this vehicle. They cast the wheel then machine finish the faces and that is the contrast i think you see here.
    I wouldn't go white, you will hate cleaning them every second day or they will get super dirty in the windows. And there are a loooooot of windows to clean.

    I personally like the copper, suits the car.
    But what about a hyper silver paint? They don't have it in powder but they do in paint.

      I like this. I'm sure this would be more expensive, but they would stand out a lot more and be more unique I think. I've seen a set of RS's done this way and they looked fantastic. Personally, I wouldn't do all white simply because you did that on your MK4, so why not change it up?

      Sean is right, Thats just the machined face, no white involved.

      I don't think I'm going to paint them, i think i would rather powdercoat, and only want 1 colour because i don't really wanna be paying more than $500. Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I think I'm leaning on a gold/bronze/copper right now. Probably something with sparklez.

                      Got my wheel back from AB Wheel Repair. I was very impressed! Originally they told me that the wheel Finnish would be ruined and i would need to have the wheel re-powdercoated, but when i picked up the wheel today, he told me that he was able to fix it and was able to touch up the Finnish. It looks great.

                      So I'm looking at a few options. I may sell the wheels for pretty cheap. If not, ill drop them off at calgary powder coating.

                              I wonder what it would take to turn the faces and leave the black paint in the spokes and barrel?
