My cousin offered to powdercoat my stock rims for free..
I've seen Gold rims and they look nice, but everyone has gold rims pretty much. I was going to go for a metallic purple, but it sounds sketchy. I'm open to suggestions and whatever you guys have done!
PS - It's going to go on a Whiteout!

I would read up on powder coating wheels and the effects the heat will have on them. Not saying heat or the powder coating process caused these problems, just something to keep in mind...

Black just disappears. I think a candy red would look pretty awesome on your car. Or maybe something like a med/dk blue. But both of those will stand out a lot. I think the metallic gold or a bronze would be the best option.

Any time I see a car with any gold on it my first thought is pimp-mobile. I guess that's one of the things that shows my age. It was the pimp-mobile that made gold badging/wheels popular.
