Where are your standard rims?
You need a web site with VAG owners to borrow some off.

I had the rims on my old corsa powder coated the original colour again, basically took them to the shop off the car and without tyres on, they did the rest - cost me £30 a rim if i recall, i dropped them in the morning and picked them up at 5pm, i didnt do anything 'special' before i gave them the rims
good luck, sure itll look good.

been quoted £30 a wheel that includes shot blasting each one, under coat and top coat of either anthracite, or metallic anthracite.
Seems good to me.
and also £40 for tyre removal and refitting including blanacing and valves.
Only problem now is sourcing some temp wheels any offers?
