Last year I got a set of CL-S rims powder coated in black..

See, https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tl-tires-wheels-suspension-100/03-tl-s-rims-black-powder-coated-790856/

Anyways, I bought a set of TL-S rims for 100 bucks and I asked my powder coater to get these done for me in a gunmetal color. I still like the black on black but since I got the rims so cheap wanted to try something new.

I got the rims back last week and I am torn on how they came out. I'm not sure if I should get these on or not. Here are some pics.. what do you guys think??

From the last picture id say it obviously just needs tires and would look good once fully mounted! Id slap em on its definitely different. Although i pictured gunmetal a little darker than that it looks more on the grey side to me but i think itd still look dope bro. Good job

Yeah, I know. The first two pictures really make the rims look lighter that what they really are. But when contrasted with the car as in the last picture they are darker.

Thanks

My opinion would be run those... black on black or the "murdered out" look is kind of played out. I think the contrast would look nice on there.

I think the gunmetal actually looks good. I wanna see some pics of them mounted with tires.

im really interested in what they will look like completly mounted.. i have the same car and was thinking the same about wheels.. i have too many colors i wanna do... maybe ill vinyl just to see... was thinking bronze would look different

I will get them mounted next week after I get paid.

I paid $70 per wheel on this set since he added clear coat to them. He charged me $55 ea on the black set with no clear.

I got them done at Colorado Powder Coating, 3801 E 68th Ave
Commerce City, the owner is Mark at 303-853-0394.

Great guy, fast and fair priced. I prepped the wheels by sanding the scratches and scuffs off. He sandblasts before powder and made them look new.

Just an update.. Rims did not come out the way I've had hoped. I'm back to my CL-S black rims.

The rims looked s**ty with the black car. Look for them in the black market, really cheap.

Maybe next time.

u wanna sell those rims ?
