I own a Black SS 2.4L and have SS/SC gunmetals that are waiting to be powdercoated. I'm not sure what type of finish I want as of yet. I was thinking of going with a satin black instead of a gloss black due to road wear and such. Anyway, I would like to see pictures of your stock powdercoated wheels.

REALLY NICE. I've seen gloss black in person and I fell in love instantly. However, I've been leaning more to something different since everyone and their mother has black.
Our cars are rare enough to see as it is. It's not like we drive civics. Theres a reason why everyone gets black.. Its because it just looks sexy. Plus, most black rims are painted satin or flat. Its rare to see actual powdercoated gloss black ones. I'd say go with it man. Forget about what you think people "play out"... Because it's definitely not.

Bronze was another color I was looking towards. Which is why I wanted to see pictures of other people's cars.

It's tempting but I would like to see a bronze, so i can make up my mind. I'm sure there's some place near you. You just have to search. It took me almost a year to find one for me.
