Default thinking about powdercoating my G35 Rays..
I picked up this set of 19" G35 wheels for cheap but they are a little on the rough side. They need to be redone. I am undecided on what color I want them to be powercoated. Im having alot of feedback saying I should go white and a few gold. Can somebody photoshop them and change the colors so I can have an idea??

Or you could look at my pics. My G35 rims are the exact same style but in 18"s . I'll post my pics when I get home.

not a fan of OEM(even though yours are oem forged Rays) wheels put on other cars; so i say just sell them and buy some more aggressive offset aftermarket ones. painting OEM wheels just looks cheesy, imo.

this will do for awhile. I would love some nice offset wheels but right now that extra 2k is going towards a swap.
