I already checked and they are, powder coat will be $50 per rim :thumbup:

Damn that is crazy cheap. Make sure to thoroughly check out the shop.

I was going to powder coat sometime soon and also thought of gloss black, if you do it I'll be interested.

If your car is black do gunmetal. The black wheels get lost if everything is black IMO

thanks plus I want to match my grey trim around the car so that color would be perfect you think?

Ricky Bobby 11-13-2015 05:14 PM

Yes, gunmetal would be great. Your powdercoater should be able to show you samples in his shop of different colors as well. Bcredliner has gunmetal wheels on his 4.6 they look awesome
