I have the Silver OEM Tornado wheels and would really like to swap for the Tornado gloss black OEM. I don't mind the other black ones but the tornado are preferred. After MUCH searching, it appears I have found the front on one site and the rear on another. Both say they are remanufactured and in like new condition. I'm concerned what that means exactly and that they may be too cheap ($299 for front and $470 for rear IF they actually have them in stock). Any opinion or suggestions where I can get some of these? I've had a bad experience changing to aftermarket wheels so I dont think I want to do that.

 

Couldn’t yours be powder coated?

 

I guess. I did that once too and it sucked. May have been sucky workmanship, but they didnt look good for very long.

 

Where are you located?

 

Near Paducah, Kentucky

 

Apologies, I thought I had the same set of wheels in black, but I actually have the Centrifuge. I took them off because the black color hides all the detail in the wheels - just something to consider. Good luck with your search!

 

Which ones are those?

 

 

Too bad you live so far away, I have black Tornado wheels and would prefer the silver. Long way to go to meet in the middle of Paducah and Las Vegas.

 

Yea. I don't think ill be over that way any time soon. I've about convinced myself to powder coat these babys. I've found a local guy that swears it will look good and will stand by his work. $125 a wheel. Fingers crossed.

 

Before you pull the trigger consider gunmetal grey/graphite or metallic black instead of gloss black, I think it stops the wheels looking blobby and also doesnt show the dust as much

 

Windows: Freshly tinted
Wheels: Freshly powder coated

Here's what that car is supposed to look like. I think it went pretty well.

 

looks sweet!

 

Those look great! I need to look into black rims on my white F Type.
