Powdercoating OEM PP wheels - Black or Bronze?
Hey y'all! Greetings from Dallas, TX!
I'm going to be getting my OEM PP wheels powder coated since I don't like their gunmetal/antracite finish on my silver BRZ. Just trying to get a feel for what everyone thinks - should I go black or bronze? (Excuse the poor Photoshop edit.)

Gold. I bought bronze winter wheels because i was afraid of the gold popping out too much. It doesn't.

Bronze team. Black just kind of blends in with the tire and shadow and looks undefined to me.

I think the black would look better even though I voted for bronze. I think the photoshop makes the black kit look as good.

Black is the choice for me on lighter colored cars. Bronze looks best on black IMO.
I recommend having the wheels coated with ceramic or similar product to assist with cleaning. Be careful about wheel cleaners as well. The finish is durable, but any amount of cleaner left on can cause a glossy finish to permanently haze. Satin finish is probably the way to go with powder coating. |

black is useless on wheels. Have to zoom in to see what wheel it is lol. Just hides the design completely.

Ya, I agree with you. By highlighting the exterior rim it does a lot for the wheels. I bought mine dirt cheap because i couldn't afford the ones I wanted lol |

The series yellow has gloss black PP wheels.
I personally think champagne is under-rated, so that's why I ordered my Rotiforms in a champagne custom finish.
