Not really today, but last week. No matter how nice October was, we will get winter eventually. With that in mind, I had a look online for some used winter wheels and tires for the Jetta I bought last Spring. Turns out the place I got the car had a set of snow tires on steel rims which came off a Golf GTi. My only complaint with the set was the scabby condition of the made in China rims, but that was only paint. Some wire brush and abrasive wheel work later, I primed them and pondered my next step. (Never a good idea. ) Instead of black, I did the rims in silver, then grabbed some "denim blue" in a rattle can and shot the centers. The car's paint color is "silk blue ". I guess it's close enough. With the salt used on the roads around here, they won't look like this for long, but for now, it'll do.
