Powder Coating the Wheels

sc55509 · 04-04-2012, 06:21 PM

So I have been thinking about it non stop and I can not decide as to which color to PC my wheels. They are some what of a flat black right now, but two other colors have been on my mind. It is between a variant of Sunset Orange, white, or simply leaving them black. What do y'all think?

O-town!

With the frost interior that you are sporting white would look great. The orange on the pic you showed looked great because of the persimmon interior and the fact that it was on the track moving. A still shot in normal conditions might be a little over the top. So white it is!!!

as much as I like orange as a color for the car itself I think it makes the rims look cheap and toyish. yomv

I do like the idea of the orange butttt my interior is white leather so white does make a little more sense.

Have you thought about red? I think white cars with red wheels look awesome. Well a tasteful shade of red not some flourescent red lol.

Orange is best color when they explode due to heat fatigue from powder coating bake process. Adds some flash to your crash.
