Powdercoating some new rims. Suggestions?

dlim1989 · 09-11-2009, 03:29 AM

I am picking up some new rims tomorrow made by Avant Garde.

Heres a pic of the rims

I have a AW 09 sedan with matte black grills, tinted windows, and cf roundels

Just wondering what color you guys think I should powdercoat the rims.

I was thinking between matte black, or satin bronze like the finish that pyspeed did on those vmr's

Any input would help

btw, is satin bronze a common color to powdercoat. What Im trying to say is that do most shops that powdercoat rims offer a satin bronze finish?

Thanks
Daniel

I hate companies without a web site ! Come on, a simple page with wheel information is really not that hard to make...I need some CSL wheels and can't find out some 18" ET40 rears...

you should go at least with ET 30 rear. ET 40 will look way too tucked in.

Not for LCI. It has 9mm wider track on each side. ET33 does not fit !
