So I've been seriously considering powdercoating the 135s. I plasti dipped them today to see if I like the look.

Yay or nay? (I'll have more photos in the morning)

I'd go with something a little lighter.

Even lighter. With a complicated design like the 135, going dark makes a lot of the details very hard to see.

A charcoal gray type color would be nice.

I hate black wheels. As avetiso says, they lose all details.

I see what you're getting at. This shade would show the details decently: http://instagram.com/p/jRjirVFuDB/

I feel that way regarding matte black, but satin or gloss just looks divine in my opinion, especially on dark cars.

That color is much better.

Stunning...

A really good friend of mine just moved to Phoenix (I think her address is Chandler too). I need to get out there to visit her, she loves it so far.
