Wheel color question

[djsiva]

I have a pearl white AWD CX-5 GT w/ tech. I'm going to either dip my wheels or have them powder coated, but haven't decided if I should do matte black or gloss black. Which do you think is best?

Same car here. I like the matte. Check the wheels folder in my profile, not the oem, but matte. I kept the oems just incase tastes change.

 

[djsiva]

Did you keep stock tires on them? Or are those new tires too?

 

[Bopper]

The black rims are 18", so the tires are new as well. My goal was to go black (graphite), and to shed some weight from the wheels. If I remember correctly I knocked off about 10-11 pounds per wheel. There are lots of threads about wheels.

Keep it shiny.

Here is what my Matte Black Rims look Like.

Have them coated; they will look better in the long run (not riced cheap).

Is that still the factory pearl white?

I am getting them coated. I've already found a place through a friend that has everything to pull the tires off, coat, mount and balance and refill with nitrogen.

This way I don't have to take them to one place to have the tires dismounted and then to another for the coating.

When I will paint my wheels, I will go with red or something like that.

@djsiva, Yes it is. Factory Crystal White Pearl

Dark gunmetal looks good with the white.
