Well, due to offsets, my plan of swapping on my extra set of wheels to the front so I could powdercoat all the wheels with only buying a spare set of rears got fucked due to offset issues (granted, I could have got some spacers, but for an extra $100 a side just decided to get new wheels) I’ve decided to just powdercoat the spare set something completely insane. Open to suggestions! Getting the first set done is Tuscan Black Matte Heres a pic of the car for reference ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v739/97cavy/DSC_0024.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v739/97cavy/DSC_0024.jpg) ---

why something insane? why not something like a metallic gunmetal? you have a very odd color to try and do something crazy like purple or something assuming there is a tinge of tan in the paint like it is coming across on my monitor… what about a dark chocolate brown?

Already ordered a 2 tier wing, all the chrome trim covers I could as well as a crazy underbody neon kit. Honestly, the painted silver wheels on the car are the one thing I don’t like, and am changing. I think it will look good with the black powder coated wheels, and will “break up” the side view of the car IMHO. The second set of wheels will be track only. Was just thinking about doing something out of the norm, while still looking good ---

You’ll be sick of the black after a year, but so long as you don’t paint them red or some other color of faggotry then you’ll be alright. ---

oem silver if you really wanna get “crazy” with a car like that, then do white. if you wanna get stupid, match one of the colors off the V badge like the blue or red to also match your tails. ---

My current set of wheels are pretty beat. The color is peeling, and honestly the upkeep to not have them look like trash is insane. Still undecided about the second set. I got a quote this morning to have then refinished, need go decide what I want to do ---
