Default Stock Wheel Color Change
Having my slightly curb-rashed 2011 stock wheels refinished and powder coated. I am leaning toward changing the color to something slightly darker than stock finish.

Has anyone changed the color of their stock wheels? I am only finding examples in black...

the only ones that I've seen is an obsidian F with black powdered oem wheels with yellow calipers. Looked good.

I have powder coated a lot of different OEM wheels, including Lexus. Getting ready to do my OEM F wheels in Prismatic Crystal Grey, with clear. Did my wife's 3G IS in Prismatic Evo Grey. Also did another F in Prismatic Speedway Grey.

Pic attached of Audi A7 I did in Crystal, and the wife's IS. Will post some other pics of different vehicles when I have the opportunity. Pictures don't do the color justice, but Google should find you some better ones.

I literally took mine in Friday for the same treatment and contemplated this very thing.

Ended up going stock after viewing other options.

I am leaning toward stock too - do you know the stock wheel color name? I want to make sure they get the finish exactly right..

Unfortunately everything I've found on the web / forums isn't 100% accurate. I left it in their hands.

This color is the same color as my new RCF (standard) wheels and my previous '08 Samurai wheels.
