Damn that is a clean rattle-can job. I love the look of dark wheels on a black car. Looks great and keep up the good work.

Nioce!!!

Damn, that is an awesome rattle can job!

MGizzle · 07-18-2006, 08:21 AM

Sweet!!! I am thinking of doing the same thing once I bust up my gold finish on the stock rims.

I will try and get it done profesionally (powdercoat) somewhere but am not sure if I should go gunmetal or dark bronze??? I have gunmetal Rota Torques and they look sweet, however, I like the Gold more for some reason.

Hando · 07-18-2006, 10:42 AM

i would not mind doing something similar, but my wheels (i see some on yours too) have a lot of scratches and dings. is sand blasting going to help with that? is powder coating more durable than the stock finish or painting them like you did.

i really dont have much experience with either.

i want to use the stock wheels for winter, and switch to something like OZ superleggera in the summer.

EastSTi · 07-18-2006, 11:46 AM

I was thinking about doing this to my stockers because htey are my winter wheels and they havent been cleaned in over a year haha

AndrewSS · 07-18-2006, 11:58 AM

gunmetal stockers are the best!
