Haha Kevin you about those from Mario? I believe those wheels are 1pc so the only choice you have is paint with automotive paint to get the 2-tone look. Powdercoating usually will cost you about $150 per wheel.

Yea he had them in a copper colored MKIV he bought a while ago. My brother recently got some vossens painted like you want and evendou they look good remember that with daily driving the paint wont last without being chipped cause of debris and rocks. GL

I actually just plasti dipped mine last weekend, black center, chrome lip. Had to peel a couple times, comes right off. The finish looks really cool (I left it matt black, no clear). It made my car look 10 times better in my opinion. I will get some before and after pictures up in a bit (I am fixing two broken wheel studs right now). You can paint right over it if you want to change the color.

I would just paint the areas that are orange... white to match your car.
I had mines painted matte black /w gloss black lip and silver pin stripe....I wanted a black chrome lip,but the shop couldnt get that custom color.I paid alot for the work,but it came out good.Here are some pics,there a little dusty and this what I have for now.....car is in the process of getting painted
pm if you want the shop info

Damnnnn ^^^^ now thats what I like, but I have gotten alot of ppl to tell me the same thing about painting the orange areas white for now. I might do it just because it would faster, but eventualy i want the flat and high gloss you got going on there. i though u had the Vossens for sale bro ?

Yea I did have them up forsale,but Im going to leave them on for now and see how it comes out with the body kit and BBK.Right now the car is pretty low on MK4 H&R coilovers but im going to have to raise a little once the kit is on.
Btw:It shouldnt cost much to paint the orange areas on your wheels......if you do it yourself take your time.Also if you decide to paint those wheels you bought from Mario matte/gloss black lip (which is a clip on lip) will have to be removed to have it done properly.That will drive up the price of the work,which happend in my case.
