    What color do I powder coat my wheels? No black and no gold.

    So my options are:
    1) White
    2) Bronze
    3) Gunmetal

    What you guys say? Oh and I'm going wingless too ;)

    White wheels are a huge PITA. They look great when they are clean, but they are never clean.

    Gunmetal is my vote.

    That's my biggest fear with white.
     
  10. Voted gunmetal. I think it will be a nice clean look.

    gunmetal, plus you never have to wash it, brake dust just fades right in...My wheels are gunmetal, and they're stock enkei's. I didn't need to bake on a powder coat, i just baked 2 years worth of brake dust on

    I know I'm just giving you hell for your prior color choice.

    I vote for anything but white.

    Just because the brake dust blends in doesn't mean you shouldnt wash it :)

    I voted gunmetal. Depending on how dark and/or flat the gunmetal is brake dust will blend in a little, but they always look better clean. - this nugget was brought to you by Capt. Obvious

    Because I'm not polish? LOL!

    I would seriously rock a candy pink like Dmoney used to have on his car. But that type of powdercoat is very expensive.

    when wrxwrc had his rsti we put my old bronze rotas up to it. it was a white car too. looked incredible.

    was simply stating that being in/close to the car for that period of time will make you care less about the color.


    otherwise, i agree. haha

    black chrome is amazing looking on wheels... otherwise go bronze...

    Do what you want to do. If you do what everyone else does then you end up looking like everyone else.

    That being said...
