Yo dawgs, what color should I paint my gangster-*** new rims?
Despite the ridiculous thread title, serious thread.
Just picked these up for 250 for a set of four:
They're old BBS wheels off of a Sirocco. They need a fair bit of restoration, surface rust all over and the paint is chipping and fading, so that leaves me with the question of what to do with them (as in, restoration-wise).
I was thinking a gold/silver job, I was thinking something like this:
Any thoughts?

Most cast wheels dont get serious heat treating, so when you bake them it can cause bubbles in the casting to expand.
So cast wheels have been heat treated properly and wont have this problem, and of course forged wheels wouldnt have this problem.
I dont personally know of any failures, but if it were a car I was going to track I woudlnt want to risk it.
