Should i get my wheels powder coated flat black or Gunmetal? Also does anyone know any reputable shops in NY who can do this? Hang on here just one more question, anyone have any idea how much this would cost me? Pete...

Gunmetal
I'm actually considering getting my stock 17's coated the same color. The brake dust stays caked on them so thick, might as well have the wheel be that color. I swear, I wash my car and the wheels are coated in brake dust before I can blink.

they're pretty hot presently, though gunmetal would look good if the coating had enough depth to it (flat ≠ hot)

i feel you on that! its rediculous. these wheels are impossible to keep clean. and i never have to photshop to see how my car would look with gunmetal wheels. i just dont wash it for a week and its like i got new wheels [:D]

Do you really need to change?
I think your wheels look great the way they are, you should focus that money in clear corner, blacking out headlights, maybe some S4 door blades.
I like your car, I think you are doing great.

Leave as-is, I've never liked dark rims (gunmetal or black) on Quartz grey unless more of the car is blacked out, it just doesn't fit.
Lovin' the ride otherwise Pete!
