Default New kicks for the F

So I recently scored a set of Gram Lights 57S Pro wheels that were in pretty "well used" condition to put it lightly. Decided to have them powder coated blue. I was trying to match the Volk Mag Blue color but I think it didn't come out dark enough. I'll get these mounted very soon. Still gotta get some center caps and I've got some Gram Lights decals on the way....what you guys think?

The powdercoat blue isn't a bad shade at all. I kinda like it. But I'm with the OP- that Volk Racing Mag Blue is one stunning color. And it's still in the RAYS family of wheels, so they'll be of strong quality and durability.

With those specs, they'll fit quite easily. Looking forward to them being mounted on your F!

Thanks dudes! I have a USB and yeah, I'm trying to picture how it'll look too. It's a lot darker out of direct sunlight as in the top pic...in the sun it really glows a bright shade of blue!

interesting blue, almost reminds me of the m3 yas marina blue. Not sure how its going to look on USB but maybe sfp or something would look cool. I was looking for a color similar to mag blue and settled on this color for my s2000 wheels https://www.powderbuythepound.com/Blue-Ice-Explosion/

If it doesnt jive you can always have the wheels powder coated easily.

I like them👍 the powder coating came out great! I'm just wondering if it will be too much blue? I can't wait for the mounted pictures on the car.

Not bad...it's difficult to determine the contrast in the pictures. I think you mentioned the color looks different, depending on the lighting?
