<![CDATA[So what do I do?]]>I got these old school Volks on my car and they spin true, are cool to me and are already staggered. The negatives are that they are scratched to shit, the decals are not in good shape, missing 2 center caps and 3 cap retaining nuts. So here's my dilemma... I have 2 choices as to what to do here.

  1. Clean them up and sell em for what I can get as they are which isnt going to be much and use them towards something else.

  2. Completely refinish them... Repaint the center spokes to match the gold on the bottom of my car and polish the lips.

If I do #2, I will not have any of the "Volk Racing" logos anywhere on the wheel detracting from any value they have now and they will not be "OG" anymore.

Chime in as to what you think.

I say refinish to a custom scheme that you are happy with.

I have seen maybe one set like mine with the actual stickers on them and they still hold value... I'd rather have them than to downgrade to some knockoffs, but that's just me...

But imo, i don't think those rims really look real great on your car, i like the stagger though. however with them painted to match that might make them look a lot better on there. <---- again just my opinion. 🙂

If you dont like em then sell them but i think they will look awesome for minimal cash outlay. Then you can spend that $ on some phat tires and be way happier

If you were completely happy with the style you wouldnt have posted this.
