Powder Coating MR Rims

So my friends dad has been powder coating for years at his place of business and today a friend and I went to drop off his stock Supra rims to be powder coated. When we got there he needed help moving one of the ovens in his garage. So after an hour of "great" ideas we got it in there. The point of the story is that since we helped move it in he has offered to powder coat my rims for FREE! The problem now is.....what color?? I have a White Evo...what color would look good? I want to get away from the standard black rims on a white car. I'm open to ideas!

I vote a dark gunmetalish color. But of course thats my vote because I recently had my rims painted that color.

Ultimately it is up to you. Learn how to use photoshop or direct your questions to the photoshop section of this forum to get some ideas

hmm... if you plan on keeping it all white then id say go with gold or a bronze color but that just my taste. Do you plan on adding cf? or anything else to that break up the whole white evo

I like bright green. Orange can look great on white, too. All depends on what you're comfortable with. If it were my car, I'd probably go with black. Good luck.

Yea but so many people do the whole black rims with white cars. I live in a small lame town now. Maybe orange can shake s*** up
