where are you getting it done, and how much?? I have a CAI and header that need to be done in silver, but am having a hard time getting a decent price.

I think gunmetal with lip would look good but a lot of people have gunmetal wheels.

i think black and bronze are both played out. Polished lip is def awesome... what about like hypersilver or hyperblack? Gunmetal would look awesome too.

I like black, but my car is black, not sure if I'd like it otherwise, maybe with a red car too.

Didn't you know that certain colors actually ADD horsepower?
Shame on you!
See like black is a basic 3 hp
White is like 1.5hp
now gunmetal is the lulu.. 6.5hp
ETC-ETC

Seriously Dude!
go with whatever color gets you happy...
Your wheels are a personal statement and you shouldn't give a rats ass who does or doen't like it---they can walk if they dont wanna ride.. :cool:

Are they preping the wheels too? Is that included in your $20 per rim. I've heard that for powder coating (or usually any painting) prep work is the most important. Make sure, because if not I've seen some that look like crap.
