Why don't you head down to Supercheap and see if you can find some clip-on wheel trims to give you a bit of a change, but still leave you the option of going back to how it is now. I think it looks great how it is. Color matched wheels on Beetles always look fantastic 🙂

I see a red wheel and i want to paint it black. Paint them black with a red pinstripe. F yeah.
This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

For stock wheels, the wheel centre and inner rim should be cream; the outer rim should be body colour. You can always add white-wall tyres later.

The wider chrome Porsche 356-style wheels, with VW hubcaps, look fantastic.

Flourescent colours seem to be cool with the boy racers at the moment.

I hope I'm not hijacking your thread mystery fang, but after all the NSW blue slip stuff was done I had a bit of fun tidying up the car, and doing fun stuff. One of the things was painting the patchy rims....so I painted them black also. I like this look and it suits the car i.e. solid, honest and uncomplicated. 🙂
Cheers, Rob.
