So my stock Everest rims were looking dated and my tires were getting close to unsafe conditions. So I took the opportunity to treat my treg to an upgrade. Prior to the install, I cleaned, sanded and painted the rusty pitted hubs, and gave my calipers a different look. Pleasantly surprised to see brembos on the treg... I didn't know! On the calipers I didn't want a flashy color (red, yellow, or blue). I felt that would take away from the overall look, so I went with a bright neutral color. I'm pretty happy with the results.

Looks very nice!

Great looking wheels and good choice with the silver calipers - gives the vehicle an aggressive, sophisticated look.

I noticed that you have chrome/silver mirrors - Are these aftermarket replacements or did they come as part of an upgrade OE package? I googled Touareg Hybrid and don't see them on any other vehicles.

Looks great! What kind/brand of paint did you use for the calipers?

Looks pretty normal to me ... good job getting it back to normal condition.

Wanna give your brakes some love ................... get some ceramics ))))

Got them from eBay UK, and they are metal.

Dupli Color ceramic paint.
The great thing about it is that with the 20's and the open pattern of the spokes, it allows me to keep the calipers and inside of the wheel clean with minimal effort.

Thank you for the response. Any chance you know who the seller was?

Sorry, I don't remember... some time ago. I did another search on the eBay UK and I also saw a matt finish as well, all stainless steel.

Thanks, I found a company called b-gdirect (they also have a UK eBay store). they all seem to be metal covers that go over the existing mirror housing using 3M double sided tape. I assume this is what you have?

That's correct, very secure!
