Gunmetal SS/TC wheels

Well, not really. I just haven't cleaned my car in a week Sorry about the different angles.

Clean:

One week later:

I kind of like the look... Too bad only the front looks like that... I could always swap the rears to the front

Anyone ever try going with a gunmetal look on the SS/TC wheels?

I wish they came stock gunmetal. They're still nice with the stock finish though. I wanna see some powdercoated gunmetal ones.

I'll post up a pic when mine come back from powdercoat. I'm getting them powdercoated anthracite right now. More of a dark gunmetal, but it has lots of metallic flake in it, should look pretty good. Should look something close to this, which I think is sexy.

Hey TommyP2010 who's doing your powdercoating and how much is it running you, if you don't mind me asking? I'm looking at a set of Enkei PF-01's and I like the wheels, but want more of the finish that's stock on the 07 SS wheels...Kinda like a gunmetal finish.
