What color to powder coat wheels!? (1 Viewer)

[450LX]

I just bought a 1993 Maroon Land Cruiser. I ordered up 35" tires, OME lift, and an ARB front bumper. I'm going to get the wheels powder coated before I put the tires on, so what color should I go with?

I had gloss black on my last Cruiser and it looked good I thought. I thought black might match the new arb bumper too. However, I do like the light silver they are now. I even thought about a dark gold that's almost black. I dont know, any suggestions, comments, ideas? Thanks!

Id wear khaki tomorrow


But dark gray looks great on the red. Something close to VHT graphite wheel paint. Or just use the paint. Might as well do the ARB too

Pandathrust used a lighter gray but it's hot.

“Red lobster” build if you want to search it out

Anything but black.

This semi-gloss is a good match for your ARB bumper if you decide to go that route. Cardinal Black T002-BK08.

I like the 60% gloss black powder coat Slee uses. Full gloss is to flossy for me, and I actually the dark gray, graphite, gunmetal colors in about halfway between gloss and matte. That's why Slee's 60% works for me. If they could have done my bumper in gray I would have ordered it that way, but they only sell them in black.
Whatever color you get will look great, you're not considering yellow or anything truly ugly. Make a call, you'll love it.

Doesn't really matter what color. They are suppose to be covered in dirt anyhow.

Ifn yur gunna wheel it much they will just git dirty n scratchity, so why bother?

I did Galaxy Grey III and have been really happy with it, but my Cruiser is white, and I'm not sure it would look as good with burgundy.
Maybe a burnt bronze or something earth tone?

Hot pink!
White!
Gunmetal is cool, but for stock wheels I like the brushed stock look.

My 80 has 4 chrome rims, but the spare is the stock brushed style. I like it the best.

Unless you our your good buddy who happens to work at a tire shop are going to do all or your mounting & balancing with kid gloves, my recommendation is to pick a color that is readily available in a spray can. Chipped paint doesn't peel like powder coat, plus touch-ups will be fast, easy, & DIY.

Just paint the spokes and leave the outer edge brushed. Thats probably not so common..
