best Anthracite wheel color with VO?
Hey all, I trust your opinions....looking for a good paint code and samples for Anthracite paint for my wheels....I was black matte for 2 years and now want to do Anthracite but don't have any good paint codes to give to the shop....
Any suggestions as to the best looking Anthracite for a VO 1M? thanks in advance. Rikx1M

I don't know the colour code but I'm going with the BBS Titanium finish they do on the CH-Rs...
I think it looks F-ing Awesome. |

I've been considering getting my wheels painted black on my BSM 1M.. that dark graphite looks great, may be a better option!
I have heard horror stories of wheels eventually cracking after undergoing powder-coating due to the heating process to cure the finish? |

I would consider such stories to originate from pre-existing conditions and/or gross negligence by your coating supplier: if the powder coat heating temperature does not exceed ~200 Celsius for ~10 minutes (do check with your supplier), it will not affect aluminum alloy molecular structure, which needs higher temperatures and longer exposure to recrystallize.
