    Default Opinions on powdercoat

    So ive been back and forth on this which us why I haven't done it. I have 20" harley wheels to go on the Lightning. Debating between a bronze, gloss black or black chrome.

    What are the homies thoughts on this? These are the wheels, do not want chrome, so keeping them the same isn't an option.

    Toyota did something similar with a Highlander Limited for a couple years. Not to dissuade you. I think it's a pretty cool look. I think its called Dark Chrome.

    -100 for black. That will not be a good look IMO.

    I vote for normal, regular silver finish (like the OEM finish on lightning wheels of that era).

    Or, if you must, dark/shadow chrome. Just not black.

    I dunno why everyone hates on black, I love the look and think these particular wheels will look great in black

    People with no taste have black wheels, and that’s precisely why I have a set of black wheels for both my cars.

    I feel like I have taste in this kind of stuff, i know it doesn't look like it with some of the wheels I've had, but that's not my fault, I didn't buy them lol

    What if you painted them silver? The same silver that the stock wheels would have been.
    I like neat cars.

    Jump on Prismatic Powder's website and shop around by colour. Just had these done. I wanted a brighter silver with a bit of an aftermarket look. I've only seen them in the sun once but the metallic flake is pretty bright!

    Edir: jusaw saw that you were looking at bronze. I was debating between this and "super root beer", which is a deep, metallic bronze
