i am having my wheels custom coated in a different color than they are currently. follow the link for some (actually old) pics of my car. picture it without the spoiler and lowered 2 inches.

i need opinions on color. right now, i kinda have my heart sent on a glossy black color, but everyone thinks that will be fugly, sooooo i thought i would come for suggestions. its pretty much open for all automotive colors that i could get, so let me know what you think.

note, im not keeping them silver, so don't suggest i leave them that way.

Gun metal, would be nice, also titanium grey

 

i have photoshopped pics at the link for you to see, "new wheel color" is the album. see what you think.

I've always been a sucker for gunmetal, so naturally that's what I would choose.

 

I am a gunmetal fan myself, and that was the first thing I would suggest. But the more I look at the bronze, the more I like it. Usually I HATE bronze rims on ALL cars, but those look really good to me. my 2 cents.

I like the glossy black and the gunmetal just the same. They both look sweet.

 

yeah, i think im going with black.

The bronze looks yummy! damn you and your black paint!!!!!

 

well, got them back, they are drying in the living room. they look cool as ****. once i get the new tires on and mount them...pichas galore!

ben

 

they were painted with dupont. there is a place that i know called alloy wheel specialists where they do nothing but wheel restoration. most wheels are painted, very few are actually powdercoated from the factory.

the car is actually green. the pic is dark. they are going to look awesome in the sun!

 

no prob. i can't wait for you to see the real pics with them on my car, they look awesome!
