Powdercoating P5 wheels need opinion

[RedPro5808]

Hey everyone, I have a Red Pro5 as you can tell and I am debating on what color to powdercoat them with. So far I have chosen to powdercoat my wheels either Bronze or Black. Please help me choose which color is best.

Also any other color suggestions would help also.
Thanks and I look forward to your suggestions and comments.

Oahu Peepz: Is there a shop In Kalihi to powdercoat rims? Thanks

black goes well with red so i say black

I think black will look nicer than the bronze on a red p5 as well...

I'd go black because it would just look a lot cleaner I think. Bronze would look nice too, as long as it's the right shade of bronze, but I think the black would be better.

I have black wheels on my red p5 and it does look great, but a lot of people are also doing it. I personally think bronze looks hot. I did a quick search and couldn't really pics of red p5s w/bronze wheels, but if you decide to get bronze, I'd go for something in this color range:

And second, powdercoat is expensive....practically as much as getting new rims. Did you ever think of maybe just buying a wheel/tire package off wheelsnext or wheelmax? I got mine, 17" ADR Sokudos, with Kumhos, for $699 if I remember correctly. Powdercoat will cost you around $400 (at least that's a general price here), plus you have to pay to get the tires taken off, put back on, have the wheels rebalanced, get an alignment, etc (that is unless the shop does it and includes it in the price). I would probably cough up a little more money and just get new rims instead of spending so much money changing the color of the stockers.

Just my .02 though....do what you want!

don't get all black it will make the rim looks smaller than it is. get a chrome lip if you are going to do black.

I just had mine done, in black. I'll be posting pics as soon as I get 'em back and have the tires mounted, hopefully by this weekend.
Here's a pic....

powercoating is 400 for all 4's or 400 per wheel!? =O ...anyhow my vote is bronze

I did my stocks in gloss black with a semi polished lip.

black, bronze, or gold. good thing with red is that it matches with a lot of different colors
