Anyone powdercoated their a-spec wheel that have any picture? would be nice to see what can be my future mod. How do you guys think about the idea? Im doing a black on black theme with my NBP!

 

subscribed ... interested

 

I think it would look pretty cool. I know someone who has powdercoated their stock wheels but haven't seen any A-Specs.

 

black is not my type...from far away it would look like youre on steelies...but yea people got different taste...go for it bro

 

I like matte black...black rims is hard to become dirty....

 

so i guess nobody got their a-spec wheel powdercoated here since no pics :p....well i ordered my wheel already, should be here in around 2 weeks i hope...will powdercoat them after so ill give you guys some pics after! hope it turn out well hehe!

 

<-- Not a fan of black wheels.

 

I remember somebody with a WDP TL powdercoating their A-Spec wheels gold, but I can't find the thread.
Might have been in the BM.

 

x2..and on a the nbp i dont think it looks right. i like a darker wheel, but i wouldnt do black if it were my car. if your car was actually black it would look a lot better, but its not, its very blue compared to a true black. i would go a darker smokey gray or dark dark chrome before straight black. or you could always look in to matching the body color...

but either way, good luck and enjoy whatever you decide

 

black on black is a no no for me. I think it takes away from the car. Makes it look like it's on winter rims or something. Ugly IMO

 

I disagree! I think black on on NBP would be very stealth and evil looking!

 

Most cases...I LOVE BLACK! ALL BLACK!!! But...I also agree just a darker shade instead of black...Here's what I did when I owned my TERMI last year...
Smoked head lights, blacked tails, limo tint and BLACK CHROME FR500's staggered 18x8 and 18x9.5 Lowered on H&R springs...




Before the H&R springs................



..............I miss that dam car...It was a FREAKIN BEAST! 450rwhp

 

heh yeah i know few ppl dont like black rims on black car, on my side i like it thats why ill do it and will post pics whenever its finish!...btw ill only powdercoat the wheel and leave the center cap chrome ( bought center cap from a vendor)...so wheel will still have something shiny

 

dont get me wrong...It will still look ILL! Look at ROCKSTARS with the black WORK wheels on NBP...

 

good look thug- memba, only a few can rock the Blk on Blk- trust

 

Chrome Black, FTW. Any powdercoater can do this color

 

Here is a couple of pictures of my NHBP with black powder coated A-Spec rims.

tint them tails or get type-s tails and youll be set

 

Thanks for the recommendation. I will let my son know. I gave the car to him & he wanted to do a few mods which I agreed to install for him. He will be a freshman in college this coming year at UCLA but too bad, 1st year students can't have cars & have to stay in the dorms!!

 

my parents gave me my TL as well

 

That's great; the things we parents do for our kids!! I know when i was 18, I didn't have a car as nice as a G3 TL.

 

< 89 Honda Civic DX HB was mine

 

<88' toyota camry 1st car...dammit...

 

<-----had NO car at 18. Bought first car, 74 Vega 4mt at age 22. Wheels look good. May want to darken the headlights a shade and also paint the grill black.

 

Black chrome looks amazing

Are you lowered on anything?

 

Yes.... Tien basic coilovers. I had the A-Spec suspension, but my son wanted it lower.

 

nice Jskman987! car look amazing hehe.

Here are my rims powder coated...look likes gunmetal with the flash on but its flat black. Now i just need to buy those wheel some new tires. I got my eyes on some Dunlop since its isint as expensive as the other brand i was looking for and have been told that they are good for the price. Heres the pic of rims:

 

Mine was a 99 cl then it ate crap and I got the TL cause my mom wanted a SUV

 

Can't wait to see the rims on your car Thug

 

Those rims came out nice bro. I just got my satin black rims in yesterday not A-specs, can't wait to put them on my SSM post pics when you get them mounted.

 

@thug8484, if you don't mind me asking, how much did it run your to PC your wheels? i want to do the exact same thing but am hesitant due to some price quotes i've gotten. tia!

 

Interested in seeing them without the flash.. What did the PCing cost you?

 

I like the black A-Specs but I think I'll be keeping mine the original gunmetal. Black on black is becoming too played out

 

Wow... Those look nice. Mine are gloss black to match the paint finish. I mounted Bridgestone Potenza RE760 sport tires which IMO are a great tire at a resonable cost. They are an Ultra High Performance" summer tire with a 340 treadlife. Bought them at Tire Rack.

 

Cost me 350$ on a specialized powdercoater store. here are some new pics with chrome center cap, you can see the difference between the chrome look and the flat black (since the flash change the color in the pics)




here is one without flash...dosent change much though ;o

 

as a fellow a-spec owner....i love how these look! the centercaps im not feeling, but i love the wheels. something i very well may do down the road. no pun intended.

 

has anyone powdercoated aspecs white? i've been sorta thinking about that but would like an idea of how it would look on a tl
