another decision should the rims be painted the same colour of the car or red like the interior.

I reckon clean up the drums (paint alloy wheel silver) and match the rims to the drums. Black wheel nuts, and no hubcaps 🙂
The 5x205 drop centre wheels are a real character point for the cars and I like seeing them visable (clean and neat of course)!
(nice colour choice by the way.. let us know an approximate cost for the body/paint shop?? That metallic won't be cheap?)

@spectral im getting it done through a family friend he has quoted me around 2k plus he is doing a bit more of the body work to get it looking smick. I've got a set of hubbies in perfect condition wouldn't want them to go to waist 🙂.

thanks for that. I don't have a friend/family in the trade, so I guess i'll need to budget double that 🙁

i'm sure you will find someone to do it for a reasonable price, are you doing the body work and prep before hand?

Don't know about VW specifically, but these guys do a great job that is for sure. A few mates have had their cars done here.
