Stock silver, or powdercoat chrome.

jc8889 · 12-05-2007, 12:19 PM

I think GOLD would be hot.

Silverfc88 · 12-09-2007, 12:35 AM

How about a spoked wheel?

Haha, yeah it was one of the better pics.

I do want to order them. I'm still looking at my options though.

I would say just keep the silver/gun metal look. it looks badass now.

This is the current color on them.

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

Or go another color??

Stop on by our new shop come the new year. We have a full showroom full of over 120 color samples that we always keep in stock and many samples to give you an idea of what your wheels would look like powder coated a specific color. You can go a solid 1 color or a crazy, glittery candy color. We do it all.

jspek · 12-09-2007, 11:52 PM

pink is awesome. honestly.

Silverfc88 · 01-13-2008, 07:53 PM

I'm still not sure what I want to do with my old Yokohama wheels. I guess I'll have to find a silver or metalic grey that I like or something.

My other question is if I repolish the lip on the wheels and had them powder clear coated along with the rest of the wheels. Will it still be reflective or will it dull it down to much? How scratch resistant is it? Will it get scratched up just putting the tires back on?

I know the bronze color is going to go on the center caps and I'm either going to polish the big nut or have it super chromed. The very center that says Siena will be powder coated to match the rest of the wheel.

Tires are off the wheels already, just need to make a decision soon. I went through the Eastwood Forum and there is just to many colors to choose from.

I think the stock color looks better. Gunmetal looks dirty to me for some reason...

amp · 01-14-2008, 08:55 AM

just paint the center caps silver and your good...

GhostRider · 01-14-2008, 05:20 PM

turbo4g63 · 01-14-2008, 06:01 PM
