New Super Snakes should I powder coat

[Makdaddy]

OK
I pick up the new wheels today
Im a little lost on what direction to go with

Wify likes the black wheels and black theme she says Coat them

I just hate to powder coat these new SS wheels only to discover I dont like them

Let me know what you guys think I am adding pics of different cars with these wheels
Thanks

My car sits like this today

Black SS wheels on a vert

bright finish on a Grabber orange Stang

I think black goes better with your car

 

[topbliss]

leave em alone! Besides they will be worth way less if you power coat em and go to sell

 

[OkieSnuffBox]

Whatever color as long as you can get it as a "low-temp" coat.

Try them out first with Plastidip. I love the black look you have on yours now (one of my favorites on the board).

This, dip em and see. Hell just put 4-5 coats on each wheel and they'll stay perfect lol

If all you want is flat black wheels, well... you already have that. I'm not sure why you would buy $3k worth of badass wheels just to paint them to look like what you already have, but I guess that's a choice.

Personally, the SS wheels in polished/Durabright/whatever finish look about 800 million billion times better than any boring ugly flat black wheel, especially against that orange.

<--- kinda tired of the "my Honda lost its hubcaps" black wheel look

I chose leave them as is. They are absolutely gorgeous chrome wheels.. they would POP against the orange.

The only thing I don't like about black wheels is that unless it is a gloss finish they seem to get lost in the tire. I do like the black look on yours, just not sure how I feel about the durabright and grabber orange with black accents.

Dip em and see what happens

not a fitment or tech question - moved

It will look just as good as it has always looked.

Thanks for the honesty

Thats what Im debating over but i wont dip wheels again especially these
So its one or the other
Or I may not do anything for a while, the tires on the bullets only have like 800 miles

Yea Sorry I deserve a ball bustin I realized I was in the wrong section after I posted

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

That's gorgeous and that's how they should stay!!

If those wheels are ones you couldn't live without, I'd LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!! They are notorious for ^^^^^this look!!! To powdercoat or plastidip would be an apostacy!!!!!

 

[donbrujo]

Plasti dip! Don't ruin those gorgeous wheels!

 

[TenSpeed]

Just me thinking out loud, but the wheels that you have on there look pretty badass. I would have just kept those and been done.

 

[808muscle]

Never ever paint those wheels. Current wheels look better in black than the SS ones do.

 

[07silvergtss]

IMO if your planning on power coating, I would plasti dip them first, just make sure like them, you should put at least 5 coats, I did mine and I just removed it last week just to make sure it was not eating the clear on my wheels and it honestly took me 20 min to remove it. I vote black but my dream wheels are black SS.

 

[Morris]

Maybe just try the plasti-dip on the spokes only. That or leave them as is, I think the car will look better with theses either way that what you have on there now.

 

[555]

Leave them Contrast looks great

I love the factory black SS wheels, powdercoat looks sweet too! But that durabright is TITS
