Polished would be sick. But its such a pain to keep clean.

Powder coating shouldn't mess with anything? Im about to take my volks apart and have the centers coated in gold. I have had a ton of experience with powder coated wheels and I have yet to have any problems.

Yohan you know i like your car and i consider you as my friend so i think its a very good choise to paint the wheels because black wasnt so good.My opinion is to paint them orion silver platinum because i belive it will look great at night and will look much bigger .Your brakes will give color from inside i dont think you will need more.I hope you decide the best

Neo chrome would be awesome. You have to have some big stones to rep those.

ahh damn so many great choices you guys have put up..

for those who said polished, I wish I could but the shop said its not recommended since these were powdercoated previously.. I would love polished

So far Midnight purple, anodized red, hyper silver alll caught my eye...

I really appreciate all your guys' help, thanks again CL, the hunt continues!!

If the color you named is in the color reference I put up please say it, otherwise I dont know where to find the color to see it

Do purple. I guarantee you'll love it haha. I was gonna paint my SGM's wheels purple. You want a dark purple that shines/bright at the same time. I think the best example would be this IS300: http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._6629429_n.jpg

Too bad I can't go through with it. Too loud for me and now my dad thinks I'm gay. LOLOLOLOL.

Here's a chop another member made of the purple i was talking about. Isn't the best and it was a hard chop, but it gets the point across:

Either that or do Tiffany Blue:

This gold is pretty nice too! I think it'd look good on an SGM:
