Default Powder Coating OE Rims..

So I want to change the color of my rims, so I am going to get them powder coated. I am going gloss, not flat... I am thinking either red like my car, or black. These give ya what I am thinking...





So yeah... They look like this right now...

I love the black rims, they look great. But if you get the dark red they will really set the car apart!

Black for me. Unless the red was a perfect match I think it would look tacky but I think black with red calipers would look pretty good

Id go with the black. Or possibly a graphite grey color. Or get you some tungsten or black chrome type powdercoat. You see the pattern im going with here. Darker colors. The red isnt too bad though. Anything that sets your car apart can be a good thing!

Yeah I am really leaning towards a black powder coat.. Gloss black should look great!.

def black, all red just doesn't seem to work. What if you did the center indention of each spoke red and then the rest of the wheel black?... that might look pretty bad ***.

Haha, try doing the lip of the wheel red with the rest of the wheel black too. I've seen that in bright red but it was on a black car.... looked phenomenal. I don't know if it'd look similar in candy or not...

I want to see these new photoshops. Those are good ideas. I like the inner part of the spoke idea best.
