thinking bout getting my powder coated as my wheels have seen better days, just wondering what colour, the guy showed me a new lime green he had in but I'm not sure if it would suit a flash red car lol , or purple maybe, can anyone do a photoshop please, my wheels are standard tdi sport 6 spokes

+1, if you have tinted windows and are going down the gloss black mirrors route black wheels will definitely suit the car.
if not i would personally go for white, love the look of white wheels on red or dark blue cars.

A light colour I'd say. Light bright silver with a sparkle. Or something different like purple as you said. Avoid black imo.

I already have black alloys but there a spray can jobby so there not shiny. would powder coated wheels be shiny ?. I will be window tinting and carbon wrapping the bonnet ( anyone else wrapped just the bonnet ?)

cheers

would love a deep purple but I'd need to see it first to see if it suited the red

You can get them shiny from a spray can if you do it properly.. Have a look at my readers ride page and you'll see the wheels I did for a guy on there. I'm gona do my own soon, just have to decide on a colour! Haha I'm swayed towards White, but I dunno yet. Myt go dark silvery grey.

Should vinyl your b pillar gloss black. Helps it run smoother with the window.

If you go for grey instead of black it stops the tyres looking so light coloured:

Or go for something a bit different:

Lots of Lupus alloys in black!

 

[moggytom]

Forget black. No point having nice alloy wheels if you're going to make them the same colour as the tyres, and the wheel arches. May as well have steelies. Too much black in my opinion of course.

I'd go for white or silver with sparkle as mentioned

thats my plans if i can source another set of wheels to use as dailys. Personally not a fan of just black on red looks too bottom heavy. So if i stay with the one set of alloys it will be an anthricite colour with a silver fleck.

Looks interesting, what's your plan with the curved spoke edge?
