Default What color should I powdercoat the new 10 spokes?

I am torn between black and charcoal.

I really like the all black look, but at the same time I don't like the no break between wheel and tire. I hate a red pinstripe so that won't be happening.

The thing I don't like about the charcoal is I have a black and red theme going..

Suggestions?

I hope this member doesn't mind me using his pics


Black....





Gunmetal/charcoal







My car.....

Salad shooters


Old Foose wheels

Yes, C5z. Chrome, black or gunmetal. But priorties and go fast parts come first.

I say powderchrome if you can find someone that has it. I only like 10 spokes in chrome, but out of the 2 options, I vote black.

I just got some more 10 spokes too and thought about coating them black like that but I don't want them to look cheap like many black wheels do. That pic you posted with them black looks great.

The black chrome is an option. It would be like both of the colors combined.

I have heard black chrome powdercoat looks like gunmetal. The only true way to get black chrome is to get them chromed which I believe is around 200 a rim...

If your going with 10 spokes go with black,but honest you could find someone to trade a set of c5 z wheels if your 10 spokes are in good shape and decent tires,looks better black,I would vote red pin stripe lol but I'm not crazy about black wheels I have had them on a few cars,and as soon as I take them off for a set of polished I always asked myself why did I keep black on there for so long,nice ride man take care and God bless

Black! Think long and hard about the C5Z06 wheels. I had them on my last WS6 and after a month I didn't like them anymore lol.

Oh man, those Foose wheels are just horrible. I'd choose black out of the two choices though.

agreed. black chrome would be the coolest. Otherwise just a black powdercoat.
