Aesthetic_Influx Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 It's been a while since I've had anything new-thread worthy, and now that spring has arrived, I have a few things in the works. One of which was getting the peelers repaired (rash) and refinished by Wheel Medic. While having that done, the wheel shop gave me the option of a custom color, so I opted for a dark gunmetal and pulled the trigger. I know they're not some epically custom HRE wheel... but I have to say, I'm in love with the look. Oh and a big shout-out to the whole crew at Wheel Medic. Not only did they deliver exceptional service, but every person there was great to talk with about the work.

I will be bring the wheel back to them for the third time to fix the paint. The look was great. But, it started chipping off within weeks of being on the car. At this point, for the $130 I paid and the 4-5 trips there, I could have bought a new wheel. Car looks great though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesthetic_Influx Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Thanks guys. :fa: Nice try audi marketing team. Almost got me. 10/10 did LOL, would LOL again. I agree.

But, it started chipping off within weeks of being on the car. At this point, for the $130 I paid and the 4-5 trips there, I could have bought a new wheel. That's good to know — as I asked immediately what kind of warranty I had on the finish and paint. I'll keep an eye on things, maybe more now after hearing your experience. :no: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versluis Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I love the peelers and I'm always looking for a cheap set to pop up. I really like the color too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on what will fit, find the S5 over the S4 peelers; they're a little wider and have more of a concave design. What gen is your GLI? I bet they would look pretty slick on a variety of the last few generations, at the very least. #missmymkiv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Brian Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Never liked those wheels.. something about peeling carrots or whatever just doesn't do it for me. Love the stance and the car looks good in general though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine came with the "hyper silver" lagunas from the Edition 30 package and I really like them so hard to part with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had silver BBS RC's on mine and couldn't get myself to part with them, even once bent like crazy. So I feel you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Wheels look good but they always remind me of the Eclipse wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 They look nice. Looking forward to seeing the color in person when at cc&c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
