Brakes Wheels 2nd Gen Tires Most liked posts in thread: Green wheels

The green Sparcos are only 136 ea. y'all. That is cheaper than buying rims and then coating them...

 

Or you could take your current wheels to a powdercoat shop and have 'em colored any shade you wish. I ordered custom powder made for my Webspokes and had it aplied locally, along with a clear topcoat.

 

Your link didn't work because it's asking me to start the tire search. I know someone who paid about $300 to have all four of her rims professionally painted white. That would at least be less expensive than $300 a piece.

 

Those Sparko Assettos are pretty interesting. Is that what you linked before?

EDIT: you beat me with your edit lol. I think you should just go for it. Would look awesome even based on TireRacks 'on the car' view!

 

I actually like them, of course Crash (Mr conservative) thinks my taste is a bit on the Far Side). I say go for it.

x2 Find a non-painted rim in a style you like and have it painted/powdercoated to suit your taste. Cheaper and less headache.

Like this one (just an example): Focal Wheel for $118/ea then get them done up in green.

 

Great timing. The daughter wants lime green wheel for her Cabrio S. Those exact wheels infact.

 

Those are a bit aggressive at 8" wide with a et20. Double drilled is also a pretty big turnoff in the looks department.

 

^^^this.

My local powder coater will do wheels at $75 each. Two coats and a clear.

 

I got my powder here... for a reasonable price, they will send you color-chips, so you can see the actual color instead of what is on your monitor.

I bought my Koseis in the fluorescent orange used but they were already fading. Decided to rattle spray them since they're only used for track. They've been holding up so far after 2 track days with a few chips.

 

^ those look very nice.

 

i think i have used that same green on my steelies from my vw. i did a few coats and it held up very well for aggressive daily driving
