Thinking about putting them on my 240. Wanted to get your guys opinion about what I should do with the wheels as far as their finish goes. I had three general directions; 1) Take them to the local machine shop and get them polished. 2) Bring them to the powder coater and get them done in a bronze or goldish color. Or 3) Find a powder coater who can color match the burning black color Work has on some of its wheels, or even something close to it. Just looking for your guys opinions. Thanks!

they look like crap sizes and offsets.

sell them and put that money towards something useful, like better wheels or coilovers.

if you're one a budget there are a lot of affordable wheels, like battles or china mustangs. if you want to spring for something nice, Work XD9's or Emotions are a good move.

eventually you can work you're budget up to ssr professor sp1's, weds kranze lzx or any baller wheel of your liking.

telling you to keep these wheels and paint them, would be bad advice.

If your limiting youself to those three options ill honestly say i cant choose one besides possibly that 1st option.. because black on black isnt neccesarily my cup of tea but hey if you like just do what you want and as for bronze i love bronze wheels but they look better on wheels with something closer to 5 spokes and i dont think bronze would look great on those wheels
Personally if i had those wheels i would just make em shine with basically a similar color they are just no chrome crap

Yeah, I said the same about the offsets but I'm just gonna refinish one wheel and put a used tire on it to see how it sits. If they do end up looking like pure crap in every angle I'll do away with them.

I've got a question for you.

What finish do YOU want YOUR wheels to be to put on YOUR car?

Haha, I like all the options. I'm kinda in a love triangle.
