I bought some mkIII 5 spokes off ebay and now it's summer and time to cruise but i still need to paint them. My car is red. I was thinking either red to match the car (possibly with a polished out lip), white, or very dark gray. What are your suggestions. Sending me some pics of your fly-ass 5 spokes or any suggestions at all would be appreciated.

I agree, gunmetal would be very clean and simple, especially if i tinted windows. Think it would be too flashy/ricer to polish out the lip?

i dont see anything ricey about a polished lip. even though i like the polished lip look..i think you should fully gunmetal them out, as i plan to do aswell.

if you paint them red, I will ban you.
