JuicedH22 Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 So I purchased some 19" (by 8.5 front 9.5 rear) Dronell Type 5 3pc wheels. I am considering having the centers powercoated before putting them on my car (328i black) Right now they are painted shadow-chrome, but I think powdercoating offers more long term durability. Should I put them on as they are in silver, or should I powdercoat them? And what color do you think, black?, gunmetal?, gold? (keep in mind I have a black sedan) Here is the pics... http://www.boomspeed.com/juicedh22/DSCF0039.JPG http://www.boomspeed.com/juicedh22/DSCF0040.JPG and here is the car... http://www.boomspeed.com/juicedh22/DSCF0066.JPG so, what do ya think?

Crash1647545504 Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Nice wheels. Put them on as is and see how you like them. If you don't its no biggy to take them back off and send them to get coated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verse Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 I'd get the middle powercoated black, just my opinion though. IMO they look like Racing Harts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was the most ingenious thing I had seen for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFKINPowerz Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 We just powdercoated some 24's on a H2. Not really the same ballgame but they turned out great. If you wanna take a look stop by our store @ 4425 E Main St. Auto Specialist 231-8805. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
