Like the title says, I'm looking for color ideas for the stock steelies. I don't have the coin for new wheels at the moment, but I do have a powder coat hook up. I have a 08 super white lowered on DF's. What color should I have them done it?

I would say white or red, depending on what color scheme you have going on. Personally I went with white with purple baby moons and chrome trim ring when I painted my steelies.

Pink.

I was thinking of trying to find a red that looks like an anodized red.

My kids would love that, especially my 3yr old boy! Pink and purple are currently his favorite colors.

Have any pics of how they turned out?

This would be difficult. However, you could get them powder coated in candy red. It'll be expensive and you really have to ask yourself, "is the juice worth the squeeze?"

Candy red is exactly what I was looking for. I'll let you know what they quote me.

My powder coat guy doesn't do candy colors, but one local company wants $225 to do all four in the candy red. Not too bad. I'm getting a couple more quotes so we'll see where those come in at.

That's about half of what I was thinking it would be.

Actually the $225 is pretty good considering that probably includes a set-up charge to do the candy. If I remember correctly I paid $185 to do my valve cover in candy purple and most if it was the set-up fee.

Here is a pic of my steelies when I had them.

If you do Silver Sparkle base coat and Lollipop Red over the top it will look like metallic clear coat red.
