What color to powdercoat rims on a Vibrant Red G37?

Hey all,

Getting some new rims and I want to get them powdercoated either a Formula silver-type color or maybe a gold-ish bronze, what do you think? Another option I toyed with was getting the lip painted VR to match but I think it may be too agressive a look for me (no offense STOOF!) Here's a pic of the rims:




Thoughts?

Thanks in advance

I would go with brushed lip, brushed face and center cap... Then VR rivets and Vr on the like insides of each spoke..Pretty cool IMO, would give you a touch of VR

Keep it black then paint just the face VR. So the sides are black. Would look pretty good

^+1 on that. You still need the chrome lip to match your grill and projector shrouds.

Can you explain that a bit more? So, black on the sides of spokes, and the face VR? so it looks mostly red?

Grill is gonna be blacked out or or getting a T-Rex grill with painted surround (non-mesh part).

But leaning towards a sexy shade of gold/bronze as the black/chrome lip and black/red are somewhat common I'm finding...

Wow, that looks pretty hot, but I'm guess that would be a paint job and not powdercoat? Or, a pretty expensive multi-step powdercoat..

I vote gold/bronze. I dont think I've seen this combo on a VR G37 yet.
