what color to powdercoat my style 135 rims

[HokieZHP]

My brother who drives a subie 2.5gt wagon is getting some rota grids apparently and is pushing me hard to powdercoat my winters. We'll see though. I'll post up if anything happens.

heres a few suggestions.

Metallic Gunmetal w/ matte clear


Battleship Grey


Black Textured



I changed my mind about liking the pink after thinking about it for a while... you're not a 13 yr old girl are you? Keep the bimmer classy, not ricey. It's a BMW, not a Civic.
If you want to go "Motorsport", do orange, I've always loved the Porsches I see with the GT3 orange wheels/accents.

This is called Flat Dormant Orange



Just my .$02

Hmmm the top two are nice. I realy don't like to stand out with orange... Cops etc... I'm trying to link another tread on iPhone cuz those colors are hot! Maybe when I get home on my Mac

Ooo, I like the orange.

Do the police really target cars that are modded w/ abnormal colors?? (serious question here)

PS: Hermes, that tie rocks!

ehhhh probably in some areas but i doubt you can make it a "rule"

for 12 months my car was basically as modded as it could be without actually transforming it into a legit race car... I had all the bolt ons and it was LOUD. Not to mention I had my companies graphics vinyled all over it. I got pulled over once for my dumb fault, going 58 in a 45 right past a cop who lasered me. it's the only time I've ever even been looked at funny by a cop in this car, or my last BMW for that matter which was blacked out completely.

I was driving a buddy of mines E92 M3 a few weeks back, turned left on my arrow past a cop in his left turn lane, he immediately busted a U turn and followed me and pulled me over. I asked what the problem was (I was driving UNDER the speed limit) and he cited me for no front plate (luckily I got off since it wasn't my car).

Bottom line I think boneheads just tend to attract more attention than flashy colors on a car. it just might happen that more bonehead drivers have flashy colored cars is all.

not a bad idea though, don't associate yourself with them if you don't need to.

Yea here in NYC cops look for something to catch their eye and as the pull u over think of a reason. So rather just stay under the radar with a graphite or gunmetal

Gunmetal (+brake dust)
