What color rims?

[spyce]

Im thinking of powdercoating my stock rims on my IS. But Im not sure which color to actually go for that would suit my car best.

A drop would make it look better than colored rims IMO.

BUT if you must... bronze would be hawt!

Apparently all he did was have it done in a two step process which was get the wheels painted black. And then paint it a special silver (argentum silver?). He said it costed him about $780 US though? :eek:

bear coat no longer exists to my knowledge... I tried to find them on your recommendation when I was asking about my wheels... no luck...

go with a dark bronze, kinda like the konig next's.

[pinoyhero]

I say save up for a bit and go with a nice set of black 19s with chrome lip and a drop, leave those they way they are for winter tires.
