So I’m ready to run these wheels when the weather gets warmer, and I was wondering if anyone knows where I may be able to get some front and rear badge inlays that would ideally be the same color as the wheels themselves . I’ve searched the web to no avail. Or even a DIY. Is this something a shop that does vinyl wraps may be able to accomplish?

The more I look at the pics the more the stock silver/chrome clashes with the wheels. And infos appreciated!

You won’t be able to wrap the emblems themselves, would have to paint them. Which will eventually chip and look bad. I’d get gold inlays and buy black emblems

Hydrodipping? Not familiar with how it’s done but maybe you could pull emblems from a scrapyard for cheap and send them out to be “coated” or whatever it’s called.

Badgeskins is another option for vinyl inlays. They only list 4-5 colors but can do custom colors too if you contact them

But if he had it would be more fun.
Like Mama says, If you can’t say something nice......

OP,
They are a nice looking wheel.
Not everyone wants gold but we all buy what we like.
What is the weight on them?

On the GTI emblem.
Someone on the forum did gold once.
I thought they had them plated.
Try searching maybe under “gold”.
I thought I had come across gold on ebay or try Aliexpress.
Keep us updated.

Gotcha. I’ll have to take a look around for black emblems then since it’s looking like my only route.

Hey man, to each their own lol. I’ve just always been very fond of the color. Especially combo’d with the CSG. They’re about 25 lbs. I’ll give those sites a shot too.
