Powder coat black turns purple. Ask randy (izzone) His GMG turned purple. Not an issue with the wheel or finish. I think randy gets those wheels a little warm, just a little

All black ano turns purple - no matter what they tell you

"We have a special uv resistant..." Bull****
"Our formula is superior because..." Bull****

If you track black ano they will turn purple faster than if just street drive them... But they all turn purple

If you break them down and re ano them... The mfers still turn purple

Paint or powdercoat is where it's at in terms of finish
Paint chips
Powdercoat hides potential cracks
Ano is not good in black long term

Paint is best

Anodize all the way. Are you tracking or entering into concours? Paint adds weight, anodizing adds nothing.

Adding extra unsprung weight is just crazy talk from guys that frown upon the extra few lbs from a leather dash...

Back on topic...the BBS are badass and the 2nd best looking wheel for these cars, after stock.

Hi Mooty,

Just checked order and website and it would appear I have anodised centres and rim outers

Could make for a kaleidoscope effect with the new MoviT ceramics glowing behind

Those BBS wheels look so damn good that i could live with a little discolor over time (if they indeed discolor which they may not...)
Those wheels with MoviT brakes!
Dream setup!!
