Ok so i decided to try the denver to mkvi huff dyi here http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106692

One of my rims had some pretty bad rash so i decided to buy another denver and experiment on the rashed rim. So what i need to know is ....does this look good enough to do it to all of my rims ? or should i just put the new rim on and remain stock ? pics below.

Two pictures to compare.

Stock rim

Painted rims




I want honest opinions ( should not be hard to get them on here) because I do have the option to go either way at this point.

Of course do all the wheels in the "Mk6 Huffs" version. Regular denvers look like crap compared to them.

I cannot believe what a huge difference that makes - definitely keep going!

the effect looks great, but IMO (you asked haha) I would take more care taping the holes off. Looks like you got a clean edge, but each of the black areas came out a bit misshapen.

I know it's probably a real bitch to do, but if it were MY car - and I'm OCD - I would have to make sure I had things perfect even if it took a month to do....

I agree with you 100% man ....this rim is going to end up in my trunk so i dident take as much time on it as i should have .....and i think i am going to have a better idea about how to go about taping if off for the other four
