What color to Powder coat sport wheels

JAY370ZZ · 05-31-2016, 09:37 PM

Getting my sport wheels powdercoated soon, not sure on what color to decide on. Any ideas? My car is a charcoal gray. I was thinking about white, black, bronze, or just redo the silver color on them.

Super Dark Gunmetal

I'd save the money for other worth while mod and stick with the silver.

As much as I agree with Zbrah I would also be fixing them if I was getting that good deal plus they were peeling (can see it in the pic on front driver side)

As for colour IMO I would go dark gunmetal/smoked look or black. But I always like darker or more colour matched wheels opposed to high contrast.

I went with a dark gray color, my rims were always getting covered in brake dust so having them colored to match brake dust makes life a little easier.

Bronze would look good IMO.

I went with this grey for brake dust problems also.
