Jim Douglas Jr.'s VWs

Threads get hi-jacked left and right in this place.

If it was any other board it would be anarchy.

But I think it is part of the VW culture to just go with it and then call everyone a weiner!

Very cool...

So true.

Shut up weiner!

Sticks and stones will break my bones but Greg's profanity excites me.

Meeee-yoww!

Oh wait, I forgot the meow-er.....

People hate you.

Theres some bad people in the world.

I'll be using Bolton's when I do mine. I haven't heard a bad thing about them yet!

I just shipped mine out today. Im only doing the rear. The guy told me about $130 for both with shipping. Ill let you know the exact number when they call.

That's a good deal. You will not be disappointed.

Mine will be going out soon too! Yeah let us know the exact number if you will.

Good deal. You'll be happy with them.

Be sure when you call for a quote, mention Herbie and how highly recommended they come. They'll be sure to give you the best price.

I cant wait for my wheels to come back!!, they said they'll be shipping out on Wednesday.

What color are you painting them? We offer powder coating for $25-$30 wheel if you're interested.

WHO IS "WE"?. I WANTED TO GET MY WHEELS POWDER COATED BUT AFTER SPENDING $100 TO GET THEM SANDBLASTED I COULDNT AFFORD ANOTHER $300 TO GET THEM POWDER COATED SO I PAINTED THEM.

I HAVE ANOTHER SET OF WHEELS I STILL NEED BLASTED THEN HOPEFULLY I CAN AFFORD THE POWDER. THAT SET WILL GO ON MY 72 RAT BUILD. A PAIR OF REVERSED WIDE 5S FOR THE BACK AND A PAIR OF SUPERS UP FRONT.

We as in my work at Les Schwab. We will sandblast them and powdercoat them for that $25-$30 each.

REALLY? I DIDNT KNOW LES SCHWAB DID THAT. THEY OUGHT TO ADVERTISE THAT CUZ THE CHEAPEST IN THE SAC AREA (WEB, PHONEBOOK, WORD OF MOUTH) TO GET MY WHEELS SANDBLASTED WAS $20 PER. THE CHEAPEST POWDER COATING I FOUND WAS $75 PER. ANY GUARENTEES (SATISFACTION, COATING NOT FLAKING, PEALING, ETC) AT THAT PRICE?

uhhh....ya know, I don't know about that. I've never seen any problems or had anyone ask me that. We do everything from classic cars to semi trucks and farm equipment. I've never seen any flaking or chipping or anything. I had the wheels on my '51 Ford Pickup done and they turned out great!

I can check......

YA THAT WOULD BE COOL. 4 WHEELS SANDBLASTED AND POWDER COATED FOR $120. SSHHHHHHT I MIGHT EVEN PULL THE TIRES OFF MY WHEELS ON THE CAR AND HAVE THEM DONE WHEN I HAVE SOME MONEY FOR THAT COST. THEY WILL NEED TO BE GRABBER GREEN OR SOMETHING VERY BRIGHT LIKE THAT FOR IT TO WORK FOR ME

HERE THEY ARE WHEN I PAINTED THEM


AND YOU CAN SEE THEM AND HOW THEY STAND OUT ON THE CAR. CHECK MY AVATAR

1 year warranty. I just need to let you know that while these will turn out very nice, they are not perfect and are not SHOW QUALITY. Like I said, I had them done for my old Ford Pickup and thought they were tits but.....just so you know.

The colors available are:
Gloss Orange (USF orange)
Gloss White
Gloss Black
Flat Black
Gloss Yellow (CAT yellow)
Gloss Red
Gloss Blue (Postal blue)
Metallica Silver
Gloss Almond
Gloss Orange (reg)
Gloss Bright Yellow

Im going for a white center with a ruby red outer. Gonna look real fancy with the white walls

They shipped today, price was $154 and some change. Should be here by next Wednesday.

And because I'm lazy and don't want to go back and doublecheck.....that was for 2 wheels?

Yep. I was only doing the rear wider.
