View Full Version : another wheel color decision

I'm considering powdercoating my OEM wheels.
Glacier white/black optic package.
I was originally considering black since it would match the black optic trim, but I'm also considering a gun-metal/carbon graphite color.
Gun-metal is darker than the "titanium" OEM, to my eyes at least.
Also, debating between gloss and satin (which is in between gloss and matte).

My son's black wheels on his S4 usually have so much brake dust on them, they look carbon-graphite most of the time (LOL).
Any thoughts? Thanks!

I like the idea of gunmetal. I'm more of a fan of gloss than matte, unless you are rocking an aftermarket wheel. OEM wheels that are painted matte look a lot like plasti-dip to me.

I agree some oem wheels look cheap when painted and other look alright.

I have dipped wheels, powder coated and painted. Powder is best but most cost and work. A rattle can and patience will get you pretty decent results.

These are my snows, and they look great for what they are.

My summers are these and I left them factory. They already had a gunmetal accent.
