Quick survey, Black or Gunmetal
Wednesday, February 15, 2006 10:04 AM
I have a sunburst orange 04 2 door Cav. I already have the rims, they are curently silver,
I'm thinking of getting them powder coated either black or gunmetal. Just curious as to what you guys think. Thanks.

Gloss black, what wheels do you have? It may depend on the wheel really. I hope you didn't get anything to heavy!

Sorry not sure how to get the pic from my prfile to here. but if you look in my profile under my car its there. I'm gonna get just the center area done and leave the lip polished. The center cap is two pieces, the chrome middle and the surrounding piece is aluminum. The chrome would stay the rest - the lip would get the color.

Thanks man! and no they actualy are about two pounds lighter then the 15's that it came with. Well I'm guessing its the wheels but the wheel and tire combo I did weigh
and put together they are 2 pounds lighter then the 15" wheels with tires mounted.
And for your next question. Pep Boys, on sale $49.95 each. Yes they are 18's.

And how did you link this?

Yes, gloss black would look sick on your car.

Well I dropped my wheels off to be painted. Yes painted and not powder coated, The painting is FREE done by a friend powder coating isn't. Anyway I went with gloss black and we shot the first one Saturday morning and it looks HOTT !! But he was busy and couldn't do all 4 so I have to wait till he gets time. Hey its FREE and they are getting painted with a ceramic epoxy based paint that they put on those sea containers he says it can't peel, chip, or crack off and seeing what those containers go thu I believe him.
Well as soon as I get them back I'll post some pics.

No tires are off center area scuff sanded and preped. I figure if I don't like them black I can always get then cleaned and polished and re cleared.
