ok i've got a burgandy car... do u think i should get my rims powdercoated black,... or gold?.

bith would hide my brake dust well... gold might look a little ghetto. black will prolly not show up unless u take a close look

if you just spray paint or something like that it'll chip off in a few weeks likely, won't last long, take them somewhere and get them powdercoated

Not true. I prepped my roommate's Integra wheels, sprayed them with Krylon (metallic dark gray) and then matte finish clearcoat (crucial step). No chips. And that is after a year of driving on them.

Don't say sh*t you don't know about.

What color is your car, I personally love the look of black wheels on a black car, nothing beats not being able to find your car at night.

I will attach a bunch of pics I have pillaged off the internet over the years, if anyone knows who's cars these are give credit.

Nice pics, but I hope he as some wider wheels on now.

But it does look nice and sexy though.
