Default Gunmetal Roush Wheels

Just thought I'd share... I bought a set of forged Roush wheels a while back, and just got them back from the powdercoater. Was over the chrome wheel thing, and wanted to get a finish close to the "Trak Pak" wheel. I really like the way they came out - LA Wheel and Tire did a great job on them... take a look:

so wait, you took $700/wheel and ruined them? nice... i understand what you were going for but you did that to a wheel that is $700 each, that is insane

Ehh I don't think it looks bad. I like chrome though.

Looks like they did a nice job on the wheels, but IMO, chrome or black would of looked better on silver. For the forged Roush wheels, I personally would not have powdercoated them.

Swing and a miss IMO...vapor works with everything but mono. Its a flushed out color enough, it needs contrast to pop....mono, no pop
Glad you like it

I like. They're your wheels, do what you like to them. If my Saleen had come with the stock wheels they would have been one of the first things to go . . .

Looks good, although I am biased I have the same wheels in black.

I have the 19" premium painted wheels on mine and I wish they were much darker. Some people are telling me to paint them myself but I don't want to chance it. I think the OP wheels came out nice. I wish the picture was larger.
