I'm thinking of powder coating my stock rims, and given that I have a red car, I'd like to know hear some thoughts on the color choice...

Right now, I'm thinking bronze, gold, or gunmetal. I have included a few other colors in the poll.

Anyone that has powder coated/painted stock rims and has a RED car, please post a pic. Thanks!

How much does it cost to powdercoat rims?

I guess it differs depending on where you live, but anywhere between $40-70 per wheel I believe.

Would you rather just buy new tires or new wheels with that money.

Well I like the way stock wheels look on the car, plus I wouldn't want to go much bigger anyway (I'd get 16's)... so I don't know if it's worth the extra cash. I wanted to see some pics of painted stock wheels first.

I'd really like to see some gold or bronze ones, but I don't know if anyone has done that.

Thanks for the pics, manphibian, I think that's a little too dark for me, maybe a lighter shade of gray might work...

dont powder coat stock rims man. find some beat up 16s or 17s, and smooth them out then powder coat that.

That's an option as well.

Here's a couple pics I photoshopped, these colors look quite nice I'd say. I don't know if they'll come out exactly like that when powder coated though...






BTW the car's been photoshopped to look lower (older pic), in reality it's a little lower than that.

either if you are going to powder coat your stockies or the gt-s rims OR if you even get new rims...gold or bronze is the best way to go.
