Powder coated wheels

Hello this is the first time i have posted anything i have had my wheels powder coated a dark grey

Nice! I had the wheels on my Lotus powdercoated yellow - THAT was a nightmare, cause they showed all the brake dust. But gray should be fine. Still, clean them frequently, cause brake dust eats into the powdercoating.

See i think this looks better than many of the aftermarket options such as CSL's and Bretyon's.

I agree, I dig this look a lot.
