What color to powdercoat my wheels...

So i have this extra set of ss/sc rims just sitting around in poor shape, and i'm gonna get them powdercoated.

I want to go with something a little different, and am having a tough time deciding...

since i already have my anthracite metallic wheels, i'm not gonna go that route, nor will i go with black or just a stockish finish.

i'm thinking:

dark metallic purple
mint

p.s. if i go with either color or a different color entirely i will paint my calipers and engine stuff to match it better

played around on forza to try to gauge my own opinion and am having a tough time deciding.

its not a cobalt but integra kinda looks like it so deal with it lol

Go on prismatic powders and check out some colors. They have pics of real life jobs done with the color most of the time. I like the purple though

I'm partial to the midnight purple/metallic purple option. My buddy has it on his BRZ, and they're sexy.

Just don't go white. If you're looking for something silly, a bright orange or purple probably. Do a Nissan Skyline midnight purple.

It was worth a shot

I couldnt part with my EDR9's anyways if I got another set of stock wheels. I've tried installing my polished stockers again, but everytime I did, I ended up reinstalling my EDR9's.

I love the SS/SC wheels to man. I'm one of the few that like them better than the turbo wheels. I think they are unique. They look awesome in a dark graphite color like you have.

I think white would look terrible on silver! Black chrome or purple
