I've decided to have my wheels powder coated and I am trying to make the final verdict on color. Ive narrowed it down to 2: Black chrome or gunmetal. (I also really like the dark bronze but I think it would clash with red interior). I have searched the Gallery and haven't seen any BBs with solid black wheels. From what I can tell, the black chrome powder coating is semi-transparent high gloss black, which should show the two-tone of the original finish (unless the prep removes it, not sure). I was hoping that someone could do a quickie chop and lay some transparent black over the wheels in either of the following pics. If that isn't possible then just blacking them out would do the trick, I just want to SEE it before I go through with it. TYIA!

 

I've seen black chrome wheels on a couple cars, and they honestly look like regular wheels that are dirty with brake dust. Here's a rough chop:

 

Definately takes away from the classy look, when rolling or from far away they just look like steelies. Or just really dirty wheels...

 

Whoa Skier! Nice job, that looks awesome for a "quickie". I think it looks sick, but I can see what you guys mean about it looking bland while rolling. Red calipers should help with that aspect. Im going to go ahead and do it. Thanks again!!!!!

 

Bronze is a really good look for BB. If I had a BB thats the color wheel I would get.

 

Make sure you post some pictures when you get it done -- I will be curious to see what it really looks like!

 

Black with a red pinstripe would be bad*ss

 

can anyone do a quick PS for bronze on the car?

 

Here is one with Bronze from the Gallery. It looks amazing but I would only do it on a BB with Black interior.
