I have a set of snowflakes but are in horrible condition. At a minimum I'll have to have the outer bead shaved down on a wheel lathe. But I know then I'll have to media blast, Cerakote graphite black the centers and sides of spokes and sand the top surfaces. Otherwise they're just going to look like hell.

Agreed, the 16V wheels just don't look right at all.

Here's a green Mk I that might help give you a preview. I found a blue Mk I with 16V wheels, which to me seem like they're from the wrong car.
