And my current debacle , New Shoes but Silver or Gunmetal... or perhaps bronze? So far the folks I have shared it with are about 50/50

They are OE SE miata wheels and 16/6.5 with a +40 offset. I thought they were +38 but the number shown in the pic when I bought them was not he offset unfortunately.


Silver

Gunmetal

This is closer to what the color looks like

I did not prep the wheel so I can clean it all off rather easily, and there is just one light coat to get the general idea. But I am kind of torn on the choice. hmm

White car doesn't need silver needs some contrast, like I got the chrome tail lights on my black car looks great!

I like gun metel for the contrast feel :)

Love the rims all in all thoe

So at that point do you go with a darker bronze like this
Image

Or something a bit lighter like this

I am going to have to play around with some photoshop.

I do have a powdercoater and I bet one wheel could fit in the oven at a time.... just have to do it when the wife is not home :mrgreen:

I know gold is one of my favorite colors as well. hmm I think it will be a toss up on what I choose. I will have to check with the powdercoat company and see what they have :)

I like the look of paint but I have a powdercoater and really want to use it...

Yeah I can see that :D I guess if you have one will make it easier to touch them up again if needed?!> That's the only reason I would not have wheels powdered again...

That real bright yellow gold on those MS rims would be just right, have fun shopping Bro :D

+1 on silver, I like gunmetal but not so much with white. Maybe pics that are a little further away might help if you could?
