My shoes of choice when I roll into Starbucks for a latte.

^ latte? real man drink mocha with lots of whipped cream.

...actually, I don't drink coffee much. Except when a friend brings out his espresso machine. Then I'm buzzing like crazy after a few of those.

the funny thing is that #38 now runs black BBS magnesiums and I am running around with silver rims, they have fresher tires on them.
Here is a better pic of black satin rims on yellow car for OP.

i actually HATE coffee. but as ex-architect, i pretend to be cool you know. so trendy mocha got me. (architects without coffee just looks wrong) i still find them bitter, so i add lots whip cream and LOTS of sugar.

but they dont do anything to me. i fall asleep in my mtgs as soon as i finish the drink, which is like 5 min.

mooty

silver better

How you guys live without a good 10seconds stretto espresso in the morning?

AllanJ

I'm keeping those machines out of the house for a reason.

Allan, I'd agree with you for track work but for street wheels powdercoat will be more durable and consistent in the finish. Not to mention a TON cheaper to have done.

WTH is this, coffee talk now? lol @ mooty re:architect

Here you go, one for sale over here... I like the look, BUT I much prefer your silver and RS wing look!

Dell, powder coating is cheaper than painting??

Agree that for a street wheel it is not a big deal to go either way...

LVDell

Absolutely. I recently got a set powdercoated and painted and the price was 1/2!

AllanJ

Understood.

In my case I have run my street wheels on the track on rainy days. Now I have a set of dedicated CCW for wet track but if that rubber was toast and I had a few wet track days in a row, then I'd be hauling out my street wheels again.

I like keeping my options open.

cfjan

That's true.. I heard from CCW that their anodizing option is probably the "strongest" in terms of finish, but probably does not look as nice as painted / powdercoated finishes..
