Who has painted their stock wheels other than black?
Going to be getting my brake calipers powdercoated candy teal soon and was thinking about changing the color of my stock wheels. Right now my calipers are yellow and the wheels are gloss black. I was thinking about hyper black or black chrome but I haven't seen that done yet. Anyone got pictures of their stock '06-08 18" wheels painted a color other than black or white?

What about smoked chrome? I remember the LC818s came in this finish and they looked sick

Gunmetal sounds good or dark bronze

There's a member,
IS350HEMS , who did a unique coloring. It's ultimately a dark grey but if you pull his profile you'll see what I'm talking about...

Thank you for the mention
I used Anthracite Plastidip and glossifier on mine, I used plastidip so that I could peel it off if I didn't like it.
https://www.dipyourcar.com/pages.php?pageid=94 They have a 20% off everything deal going on right now.
I know some folks don't like using this product, but it is super durable and easy to fix if you scuff a rim.
