Controversial color....Do you hate it too?

[UltraKla$$ic]

I think it looks good!

 

[weather man]

Like it!

 

[Flapjack]

I like it. Especially looks good up close. Agree it would look better on a different color car, though...

I like it. I think powdercoat will be nice. Are you using aerosol or their spray machine? I've been wanting to do a charcoal on my Saleen wheels.

I like it, being totally honest.

I have a black car and if my interior was not red (as if if my car was black on black) I would do it myself.

It doesn't look bad, but it would flow and look a lot cleaner if they were brushed or black. Gotta give you props for wanting to look different though!

I just used the aerosol cans. If you decide to do it I would suggest using some tire gel on the tires (don't get it on the rim though). With the gel you can peal the over spray on the tires right off in one big long piece and it will stay on the rims.

Also make sure you either don't spray in the lug holes or trim the dip off that area. If you don't you will lift the coating from the rims when you tighten the lugs. You just have to get it off the part where the conical lugs meet so they don't twist the coating.

Last thing to consider is the metalizers and the glossifiers are much thinner that the normal dip. If you like to use a heavy application like I do then you will have to be wary or not making drips with the gloss (I did this on my hood and had to start over).

Those rims come in a brushed/silver too. I kick my self sometimes over that one.

I like it. I think with white you can get away with most any color.

I really like it! I'd rather see this than black wheels...those are starting to get too played out.

 

[Hatchman]

I like it though it is a tad dark.

 

[GreenTerror]

I like it. Would look wicked if your 5.0 badges were a matching color.

I agree with this, take those to a painter to get them matched.

 

[SickGT]

I actually like that a lot. Had your car been a different color (besides black), I think it would look a little weird. I agree with what was said earlier, take the badges to a paint shop to have them matched.

I like the color but I don't like it with the white car.

 

[topbliss]

I think it looks great

I dig em. I had some rotas in royal sport bronze on an old car of mine. I've got a soft spot for gold/bronze colored wheels.

Thanks again guys for the comments. This thread and living with the rims confirms that a bronze is the way I will be going with the powder coating eventually. I'm liking the contrasting color, for me the.black just blends too much. The matching color on the hood didn't work out, its just too hard to get it right. I did change the shape of the scallop from the pics shown and I'm liking that as well.

Your car looks great.
