well sad to say it but i scuffed up my wheel the other day pritty bad. well im gona do my best and sand it down to a good smooth finish and then get them powedercoated. my hold back is trying to choose the right color for it.
What color should it get them? I have a FM tC.

PLEASE help

RedLine_tC

i would say black or resilver them...cuz i got the 18" emk super 7 in the silverish color and it looks good on the tC

MisterKe

bronze on FM. I was intending on doing that myself

Reese

I agree....

I think bronze would look way to funny on the stock rim. Yes I like bronze and FM but not with the stock wheels.

roflitzjinno

def a black. not a glossy black but a flat kind of black.

jj010

silver or black, take your pic

El_Matador

Thats what i was thinking of going with a bronze color. But still undessided about it. Bronze does look clean on a FM. Black well.... i have my issues with black wheels. NOt saying all black wheels look nasty but some tend to look like they have no flavor.

MisterKe

Not the entire wheel in bronze though. I had a chance to photoshop it.

Now I know this is on a BSP tC not FM. But the point of the chop is to show you where i would powdercoat.

^^ Thats pretty dope... Different for sure... I would do it just to see how they turn out...

can you do that in black

El_Matador

that looks sweet nice job on the photoshop. Bronze is the color to go with, i wonder how many shades of bronze there are. im gona look into it this week

Just make sure, if you go Bronze, don't put a gloss finish on it. Bronze + Gloss Finish = No No

Skeletor

i second that.

"Welcome to el matador. that's spanish for...The Matador" haha awesome movie...i'm thinking about doing the same thing. currently looking for a busted up test wheel. i'll take pics when i start the process

DoItBig

islandromeo81

yeah i will have several diffrent black from flat 30%-80% and super gloss black but i havnt started yet still working out the bugs but when i do i ofcourse will offer deals for scion life peeps but my only worrie is shiping i dont want people to pay a arm and a leg just to make there rid look how they want

i'd say gold or bronze.
saw a FM rolling around town
with stockies that color and was
very eye cathing.

black or gunmetal will
make it look...dirty.

El_Matador

yea black or gun metal on a dark car looks funky, not to mention that well in my opinion those colors are played out. seen to many cars with black rims. Bronze or gold yea good contrast with the FM.

well if anyone in cali around the 909 area know of a good powder coater let me know

MisterKe

I would do that for 'yall but I don't wanna hijack this thread. But maybe the thread starter would like to see too. If it's ok I'll work up another one.

You usually see a lot of black or gunmetal rims arond but rarely do you see bronze or even green. Yes, GREEN. One of my friends had green volk te-37's on his integra for a good while. Looks really nice in person. I only see bronze or gold on the local imprezzas and nismo Z's.
