Default Changing up my wheels

I am looking at buying a second set of stock wheels and having them powder coated or painted. Either a dark grey that is nearly black or orange to match my stripes. Playing with photoshop gave me these options at least...

I think I am leaning towards the black at this point.

I suggest you save up and buy some nicer wheels by the time you buy a 2nd set and powder coat your can but the brembo package rims. You can get 11-13 GT rims for 3-400. and Brembo for 5-600. Just plasti dip them black in the meantime.

The only downside to the Brembo wheels is the higher cost and lack of available choices in replacement tires. Out here people seem to think they are worth more than new aftermarket wheels too. I can get the stock 17's for around $200 with TMPS sensors.

I have the ability to get things powdercoated for free at work if I can live with whatever color is being run at that time (black is easy, orange not so much). So it helps to keep the cost down.
