So I just bought some rims last week and when they come in I’m going to get them power coated, here are the rims i bought.

I was first wondering if I should keep the lip shiny or power coat the whole wheel. I like the ones look on the 350Z's that have the inside coated and the lip shiny

Then once I know what I want to do there I need a good color for the part I powder coat. I was thinking either black or some dark grey, possibly gunmetal like the stockers

I got these for performance for the most part, I want to put some 245's on them since the are 8" wide, if they fit. My car is red thanks for the help.

keep the lip shiny! make it stand out...nice wheels!

I like when the lip stands out on black rims but gunmetal I am unecided on ....I would like to see soem p shops of the different options and then I could make a definative answer ...for the time being I am going to have to say gun metal the entire rim

Powder coat them red... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I thought these looked pretty good but mabey a darker color. They don't come in our pattern. Maybe a little darker would look good?

Powder coat them red... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

:thumbsdow :thumbsdow :nono: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think gunmetal with a shiny lip will look good. The lip will really set the rims off I think. How much is it going to be to powdercoat the rims?

Dude red rims, ultimate ____(insert 4 letter word here)... just joking, i like the wheels though... in my opinion go gunmetal...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think its around $50 a rim, not too bad. Yeah i knew you were kidding, well i could do yellow :lol: :lol: I'm going to take them over tomorrow or thursday and i will find an exact price then.

Yea gunmetal with a chrome looks nice

Nice wheels!!!!

Gunmetal/black with lip is so played out. I'd leave them as is for a bit and see how you like them, then get it done if you still want it. If so, then gunmetal with nice shiny lip :)

Well i don't want to put them on right away cause i can't get the tires i want right now and i think with the way they are it would be too much blingage. I don't really want to put my stock tires on there sine they are kinda small for them. maybe i'll make a poll?

Just added poll, tell me what you think!!!

anyone here goin to powder coat there stock rims?

um... powder coating the stock rims what color?

powder coating is around 25 bucks a wheel

One color.......Hyperblack

LOL Yellow rims on a red car...you might as well just replace the wing with a set of golden arches....

Seriously though I like gunmetal.

Maybe a black crome center with a shiny lip?!?!? i really want that shiny lip, but only if it will look good.

I have thought abount painting the stock rims black but didnt think about powdercoating them. How much different would paint and powdercoal look?

powder coating is stronger i believe but it would look the same more or less

other

what do you mean by other?? Don't like them or....?

If you want a one of a kind looking car keep the outer rim area the same and powder coat the rest Chevy emblem gold. Leave nuts stock. Against Victory Red that would be sweet.

I like the ones look on the 350Z's that have the inside coated and the lip shiny

gunmetal with polished lips on my old Z, definitely a hot look IMHO:
