I have been thinking of having my wheels powdercoated. A gunmetal, or some darker shade of grey. Maybe even black.
What do you guys think???? Can anyone photoshop them a different color for me???
I am undecided, but seriously thinking of having it done.

A darker gray would be better because black might be to dark for the color of your car

I think you rims look fine just the way they are. But you should do whatever makes you happy. :)

Peace.

have you seen my thread on the new wheel paint? it's a dark graphite color,under some conditions it looks like graphite mirror finish other conditions looks dark grey. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b205/moultriemanicmechanic/finishedwheels002.jpg powder coat is nice but expensive,this is a good alternative http://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49196

i think gunmetal would look good with your car color. oh and another thing i think you should get a lip, it would make your car look so much better.... keep up the good work :rockon:

Yeah, I have a teg lip I just havn't put back since the paint job. I think gunmetal would look really good too, specially with the rivets staying crome and center caps.

spokes in a dark gray or graphite, lip polished. that'd look great. i say go for it. that'll make them look great. especially on that car.
