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:
true i may go with the bronze since that adds th most like 10hp and with my new apc sticker i shoold be at 50 + more hp from that

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.
yeah they prep them too my friend brings them a alot of business from his company they do an real good job they just did his 18" wheels white and came out really nice ill post pics soon of them
