Default Powder coating my TE37s

Finally got a set of TE37s and want to powder coat them red ike the red that Volk uses in general, NOT the red used in their RT line. Since they don't provide a paint code I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to something similar. I was also thinking of keeping it in the family of s2ks and using new formula red.

The recommendation is going to somewhat depend on the color of your car. For a black car, gunmetal or silver both usually look pretty good. Red wheels = rice (for me anyway). YMMV.

I have been on the fence about it for some time. My car is white and do agree on silver and other colors it looks good.

if you're into reds go with an anodized red, it just looks better then say a solid red color

DO not anodize your wheels. the andodize will fade to pink over time.

You won't have many choices of red if you powder coat. If you have them painted you have a lot more choices.
