Still don't know what to do with the Wheels? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Silverfc88 · 12-05-2007, 12:03 AM

I think I'm going to be keeping my wheels around longer. Now if I'm going to keep them around I want to get them powder coated. Either recoat in silver or go with another color? Then another thing I have to think about is should I keep the polished lip or just powder over it?

This is the current color on them.

And this is something I'm thinking of changing them to.

Or go another color??

malloyboy1 · 12-05-2007, 12:24 AM

stock color

97TurboDSM · 12-05-2007, 12:25 AM

gold/bronze

dancemf666 · 12-05-2007, 12:28 AM

How about gunmetal with the silver lip.

4g64FTL · 12-05-2007, 12:35 AM

bronze might look good

whitezenki · 12-05-2007, 12:38 AM

Stock color, goes so much better with the paint then the black would.

LPC · 12-05-2007, 12:46 AM

Very nice wheels if you need them coated let me know i can keep the lip perfectly polished if you want. also i can match the color of your car or come see my color samples.

Silverfc88 · 12-05-2007, 12:47 AM

Just a rough idea with Bronze.

97TurboDSM · 12-05-2007, 12:54 AM

i think a bronze with less of an orange tint to it would look good

OutOfStock · 12-05-2007, 01:02 AM

gold with polished lip

Silverfc88 · 12-05-2007, 01:05 AM

How about green? LoL..

the mike · 12-05-2007, 01:05 AM

Stock color. You lose too much definition in the spokes if you do a different color.

NEVER go white with the Siena's, trust me.

Silverfc88 · 12-05-2007, 01:10 AM

Yeah your probably right. I still want to powder them to get rid of some marks that I can't get rid off and it should make it a little easier to clean. Oh and bring back the bronze on the center cap.

Gorilla Unit 33 · 12-05-2007, 01:11 AM

get the inside done in an acid wash look and do the lip in a cobalt blue. i think that would look sick.

Silverfc88 · 12-05-2007, 01:20 AM

Chrome Pink anybody?

Keep them stock...just clean the hell out of them.

Everything else just doesn't let the wheel flow.

The01Cav · 12-05-2007, 11:09 AM

Go with a steel grey color just to tone it down a slight bit but not completely change the color.

CHAOS · 12-05-2007, 11:10 AM
