OEM Wheel Color

[Surfsup]

What do you guys think of powdercoating the OEM 19s soul red to match the car instead of popping for 20s?

Too much.

Go back and take a real hard look at the picture you posted the other day of your SR with its stock silver 19" wheels. Now doesn't that look nice?!

I think you're right, after coming back to it a few times it's too much red. Here's what it looks like in a charcoal gray, with a 30% tint on the windows...I think jet black would be too black because the tires would never really be as dark as the wheels and the wheel trim as well as the trim at the bottom of the doors is like a dark gray too. What do you think of this one?

Yea, it does! There's just something about the stock wheels that makes me want to change 'em...

Tint looks great. Black wheels are soooo 2013! (and I am sooo waiting for this trend to run its course. Does anyone remember where the black rim trend started? NASCAR-themed pickup trucks in the early to mid 2000s. That's where it should have died a painful death, IMO.)

Much better.

I like the red ones.

Call me old school, but I still think rims should be shiny and chrome.

I like this style of rims, but not shiny enough.

Soul red with 30% tint IMO

The more I see them, the more I like them. The GT is the first car I've bought with stock rims nice enough to say; why change them?
