New TT IIs are in. Now polished or gunmetal? Hay gang...just recieved me TT IIs from Tomz (fantastic sponsor btw) and I have been toying with the idea of having the centers powdercoated gunmetal grey. My car is Maple Red Metallic. BloodTA has the TT IIs and they look killer polished on a MRM TA, but I thought gunmetal would be a little different. Anythoughts would be great.

And here is an example of what a gunmetal center could look like. This is the one and ONLY MRM blackbird, but has the S200 cragars? I think that is what they are? Anyhow.
PS I do have the black interior so the gunmetal would tie in better than if I had the tan.

You can't go wrong either way. The color of your car is going to make either look great. IF it were mine it would have some gunmetal TTIIs on it... I wonder why

The clear powder coat will make the polished wheel look like it needs to be polished. It leaves the wheel with a haze.
I looked at the chart and I don't see the color I have on there but I think the RAL7022 could be close. Do they have anything that's coated with those powders? When I've picked out colors from the powdercoater they have parts that are coated in most of the colors so I could pick what I wanted.

Damn, you guys are making it hard for me not to get TT IIs.
But I think you should do the gunmetal. Although Blood's looks sweet, it's kinda too shiny for *MY* taste. Subtle colors would be hot!
But +2 for the Photoshop on his TTs. I'd like to see it.

01 Red WS6 I am sure thy have samples of the colors. I am going down monday night after work to drop the wheels off and chose the colors. Do you have a close up of your wheels? Is the inner most lip coated as well? correct.
