Default Thinking about powder coating my wheels...

I have Work Emotions, and was wondering what color do you all think would be done well with powder coating: white, bronze, or gold?

I know this is a stupid question, but when I get them powder coated, would it be the same as it coming from the factory in that specific color? For instance, would it look the same as the bronze version that comes from Works?

It depends on what the powder coater carries. Usually they'll get it close to the color but not exactly the same.

I'd do them black crome if I were you lol then I'd sell them back to me LOL Black chrome with white decals would look sick on your car!!

Post a pic of what black chrome looks like on a white S
I really want to do bronze or gold, but white on white on white is always an option.

From personal experience. White on white is very nice, Still have mine, keep in mind you will be dusting them every 3 days assuming the car is a daily driver.

Or you will learn to downshift like a mother****er to minimize front break dust

Dark gun metal is sweet and so is black chrome. What color is your interior. I think bronze is Ok on white but looks much better with red or blue exteriors.

Just do yours a little darker finish. Like a glossy gunmetal/grey.
