I'm having my 15" BBS style Alloys powder coated this week, any suggestions to what colour would look best.
My car is metallic royal blue, so I was thinking of going for a darker shade of grey or stay with the original lighter grey??

Your thoughts


Thanks

Pete

Thanks guys for your thoughts, the cost to have them poswer coated is Ԛ£15 per wheel at a place in birmingham. A few friends have had them done and I've been pretty impressed. The choice of colours used to be quite limited as they are not a wheel place really, but know as more people have taken wheels there, the have got in more colours.
I'll let you know how it goes.
