Haha, Panda/Wooley/myself actually got on that kick before I posted that today. It's super trendy and might look awful, but at least if I did it with vinyl I could eliminate it pretty quick if it didn't turn out nice.

Wooley's battleship grey (technically Audi's nimbus grey pearl) idea keeps sitting in my mind too, haven't really seen any wheels done that color and I think it might be kinda unique/neat (seen plenty of cars that color with black wheels, so reversing it might look good...or it might just look like they're primered, lol).

That's why you gotta get a satin clear in there for that lusty sheen.

Indeed...I did talk to Tim about it today and he thinks he can make up something that would look cool, I've just gotta wait a bit to get some paint fundage together if I go that route.

In other news, here are a few quick chops to ponder. I still keep changing my mind like every 5 minutes, haha.

Chrome would be great, only problem is I haven't seen any quotes for less than $500 or so (plus shipping to these places which is at least another $100-$150) so that's out. If someone knew of a cheaper, local place I'd be all for it though.

I would give my opinion but Yousef would call that me being a hater and conforming to my JDM mold.

This is true, I'd offer to do it, but I don't know when that big oven is ever going to be finished.. Whenever it is I'll let you guys know. I'm sure there's a local powdercoat shop that might be interested in working out a deal for an ad or something in S3? :winky:
