    Painting wheels

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    OK so I want to powder coat my wheels but I'm not sure what color. I was wondering if you guys could help me decide. I have a Volcano Black face lift A4.
    I was thinking Italian Gold or Gunmetal, I don't really want to go all black cuz that's kind of overkill for me.

    That's my car as of a few months ago I really haven't done anything to.

    Re: Painting wheels

    Im painting mine right now... Its not powder coating, but Im doing a dark graphite color and its looking pretty damn nice! Ill have pics up in a bit.

    They are 18" BBS RCs...

    You can also go with silver or bronze which would look nice with your car...

    Or if you black out the rest of your car, go with black. They'll go perfect with your lights.

    Well, yeah but not like BLING gold I'm talking about a dark almost dirty oil gold sort of like on the Vanquish or some of the older Austin Martins.

    Re: Painting wheels

    i think a dark dark gray (volcano, atracite, OEM Ti Package) would look good if you did just the spokes, or just the lip/inner section and kept the opposite either polished or silver painted.
