Hey guys,
got a guy who is going to powder coat my rims for me for $150 is this a good price (plus I have to pay to have the tires taken off)
What colour should I do them? i've got a white, 04, 4 door. It's all stock, only real plans are to tint the windows, clear the corners and smoke the headlights.
I was thinking of some kinda smoke type color for the rims, or maybe gun metal. what colour do you guys think would look best on a white car

Here's hyperblack... but diff rims on a black car... but you get the idea... it would be sweet as hell.
And these rims are flatter, so the pic isn't the greatest example, but it's kind of like a really dark silver... kinda...
This is a better example

You wont be able to do hyper black.. hyperblack is more of a chrome black than it is black... Good luck to you tho.. I have my stock rims refinished in Metallic gun metal.. they look pretty good IMO.. cept Im not gonna pay to have new tires put on em this year so Im looking for a cheaper alternative like an aftermarket set or rims and tires to tie me over.. lol

^ is gunmetal the closest to hyperblack possible? I thought gunmetal was that brownish metal color...
At least in pics hyperblack doesn't look chrome-like at all... it actually looks more like powdercoating to me than anything else..

I'm a chrome guy, so my vote would be to find a chrome like color (if he has one). The hyperblack would definitely look nice though.
Which reminds me, I hate the blacked out rim "fad". Also, the "I removed my hubcaps to make it more custom" fad.
