Default This is a test?

Give me your thoughts on this idea! Thinking about this or even powder coating my wheels this color? Let me know what you think? I plan on keeping the 20's!

Should I leave what I have, powdercoat existing wheels or go with the Zone wheel in a 20"? I love the way this finish compliments the millenium silver!
(Current set up!)

(Powder coat?)

(Zone Wheels?)

wringo, my personal taste, if your wheels are chrome now, i'd get them machine polished (my taste though). if you want to coat them, try it out!

for the zones, i dont think they contrast well against the silver body of your car. (sorry i forgot the other guys name who has the zones)-his wheels look hot since his 2GS is like a radiant blue and it contrast well against his charcoal(?) colored wheels. just my 2 cents...

maybe you're gettin tiresome over the current look you have now (have you had it a long time?), but, honestly, i think it looks sweet and its a look you can never go wrong with.

I like your current chrome Maya setup as is. Not really feeling the powder coated look with your color(#2 pix). The titanium Zones do look sweet, but I think would do more justice on a darker color, like bluelex or on DWP. I think silver blends too much with that titanium finish.

Either way, your car is still one of the nicest IMO.

Hmmmm... Wringo, that's a tough call. #3 makes your whole car look more exotic, IMO. But #1 is cleaner.

#2, naaaaaahhhhhh...

It depends on the look you're going for. If you just need a change, then #3 is definitely it.

#1 and #3 both looks good. Not feeling the powder coat. #3 will look good in silver. Just my opinion.

Everybody's changing up the game, so I must add my little taste to it!

Man, this is really growing on me! I showed it to the wife and she said go for it! Was she giving me the green light? I really like the way the zone wheel looks against my paint. I had a chance to link up with Adrian this weekend and he's got me thinking!
