Hello everyone,

Don't want to intrude, but I am hoping someone could do a little work on this shot. I am contemplating powdercoating or plastidipping my wheels gloss black, and installing black stone guards. Then a light window tint.

The variable here is that I have never seen this done with a gray top cab, and I'm wondering if there will be enough black to tie it together. Either will be cool and different, or not.

My wheels had been resprayed by the dealer before my stewardship and are now stained- needing repainting or other.

Could someone create this look for me before I commit?

Many thanks and much respect.

Be careful power coating. The heat process may effect the integrity of the cast process. I'd check with your dealer and see what the best option is.

ehh.. I think I'd go for dark metallic (darker than the body color) and skip the stone guards and tint. Anyway, that's my vote.

I always liked the contrast with the black stone guards. Makes the car seem more purposeful.

I have the exact same color combo and have been fooling with the idea of removing the clear stone guards and replacing with black - any way to leave the wheels alone (not black) and just add the black guards?

Nice color combo - but then again - I'm biased.

Plastidip. It's easily applied and peels right off. I know it sounds ghetto but actually looks pretty good.

I think I agree with this (not having actually seen it). I don't like black stone guard on this color car. Black wheels by themselves look "ok". I was thinking a gunmetal or something? I know, you didn't ask for opinions, just photoshopping.

First of all, 997_rich thank you so much for working on that shot for me!!

Perhaps you guys are beginning to see my dilemma. Pic one is too ricer for me, and pic two just doesn't pop enough for me.

997_rich, any way you could redo pic one minus the window tint?

If that doesn't get me, I will repaint in hyper silver.

Thanks for looking!!

No worries I love other opinions- helps!!

Looks great but I would go for more of a darker grey than black, skip the black stone guards but definitely tint the windows. Oh, dont do the plasti-dip. I learned my lesson with my F30 BMW. Now I have to get that crap off so i can have them powder coated. Plasti-dip is good stuff on some things but wheels, no way. Rock chips, road debris, etc causes it to quickly gain a less than favorable look.

do anthracite would be sharper

Agree with both

I don't like the black wheels, stone guards or tint! Go with the silver…I feel like less is more with these cars but that's just an opinion.

Meteor's a cool color!

I love those wheels and like them best in silver!
