The closest I have been able to come up with is Tiger Drylac's Mirror silver, but it looks a little more dull, and anodized aluminum from TCI. Most of our work is large scale industrial jobs, so we don't have the need to use silvers too often. Any info would be great! PM is fine if you don't want to share the information with everyone.
Thanks!

We don't actually have any paint codes for our wheels. Our Hyper Silver is kind of hard to replicate as it's a multi-step paint process. It has a black base coat which gives it a little more depth. PM me if you have any other questions I could help you out with.

If powder coating adds $400 to the cost of a wheels, I would rather put $400 into strengthening it instead...make sense?
What Im saying is that yes its great you guys have all these color options and the wheels look awesome, but how bout some stronger wheels? I mean If I had to replace a cracked or dented custom powder -coated wheel, that would suck twice as bad.

Our custom powder coat is offered to our customers as an optional add-on. We offer it as an opportunity for our customers to customize their wheels to better suit their style and personality. The wheel casting process is a bit more complicated then tacking on another $400 to create a stronger wheel. All our wheels are JWL, VIA & ISO-9001:2000 Certified with a load rating of 815kg, which exceeds the standard requirements.
