Should I Powder Coat Or Not?

j1330i · 09-28-2008, 06:25 PM

hey guys, I'm getting bored of the look of my wheels and I'm leaning more towards an aggresive look. The question is should i powder coat my wheels with a thin pinstripe?

AV9 · 09-28-2008, 06:26 PM

damn that looks freakin sick!

why not just powder coat the spokes and leave the dish alone? tht might look good!

+1

because you have chrome accents. Car looks hott as is, but change can be good.

I actually like the look of the entire wheel powdercoated sans the outer lip ring.

calgarye90 · 09-28-2008, 06:42 PM

looks hot man, just do it.

Hoothout · 09-28-2008, 07:09 PM

PIMP "E" · 09-28-2008, 07:10 PM

BvillE90 · 09-28-2008, 07:11 PM

that is a good idea, and if you dont like it you can always do the pinstripe.

whytboy · 09-28-2008, 07:37 PM

i say go for it

chinoxs203 · 09-28-2008, 07:39 PM

lyjw88 · 09-28-2008, 07:42 PM

remmib · 09-28-2008, 08:16 PM

Leave it.

imaznumkay · 09-28-2008, 08:17 PM

do this,
powdercoat the center matte black, but paint the little thin strips that goes along the spokes and the maya logo white. then leave the lip as it is.

Lady///M3 · 09-29-2008, 12:11 AM

mJ335 · 09-29-2008, 12:24 AM

LOL 50/50.. we're useless

Oh, I picked "yes" btw.. it will definitely flow well with your black roof. But I would take out those eyelids.. would look better with the amber covers.
