Which wheel colour?
« on: January 02, 2013, 04:28:49 pm »
Right, finally going to get round to getting my Monza II's powder coated, probably at the begining of feb, now I thought I'd settled on anthrasite but having just seen another laser blue wearing gloss black CH's I'm now in a little doubt....can one of you chaps that's good with photoshop mock me up a pic from the one below showing both anthrasite/grey and with black???

I've seen both options on the wheel thread and lately another thread on a steel grey car but not specifically on a laser blue.

General opinions also welcomed.

Thanks in advance.

Am less than useless with Photoshop but my vote is for Anthracite all over or Gloss Black with a Silver lip, helps give the wheel some definition against the tyre if done in Black.

I've looked on there and can't seen to see any other than std or all silver, silver imo makes the wheel look smaller. *shuffles off for another shifty*

Cheers Chris that's just cemented my original thoughts so anthrasite it is.

Think we should leave the gold to the Subaru boys............maybe in another wheel but deffo not Monzas :grin:

What about smoked chrome? I think it would look great with the dark grey plastic trim.

Smoked chrome looks the nuts but I'm on a budget, I've found a powder coating place locally that have come recommended and will do all 4 wheels (tyres off) for £200 but think that might be for std finishes only but I'm going there tomorrow to see what they can do.
