Comp gray wheels?

[JacozSS]

Has anyone looked into powder coating or having their wheels done in a comp gray? I'm considering it on mine and if there are any photoshop masters that would like to try it on a silver SS I'd love to see it.

Shoot me your email and I'll try to send a pic over the weekend. I had a buddy do mine in grey on my silver truck...

Nice!

I think Chevy actually got this one right the first time. :m2:

I think those wheels would look better on a darker truck. blue or red perhaps

[TonyGXP]

I agree, they got it just right with these wheels...

My monitor is set different, so here's that pic with the wheels a little darker...

The second one looks the best to me when i turn up my monitor's brightness abit

:iagree: The darkest one looks the best :cool:

I prefer the stock wheels... but that is my personal opinion.

I still love that red.

Thanks Dacomputernerd.

Eh, That looks better than I thought it would, but I'm still not positive if that's what I'm going to do.

I just wish the wheels were chrome...they did a terrible job polishing these things. That's why I started thinking about getting them powder coated another color. We'll see....

[BIGBOS]

looks pretty good..

[Dacomputernerd]

Mabie you could chrome the factory wheels? It certanly would be different:yes:

That's exactly what I was thinking after seeing those pictures.

Does anyone know for sure if the SS rims can be chromed?

[ieatglue]

One of the guys chromed his stock 17". I think the SS rims are the same type of aluminim so I guess you can chrome them :undecided

Was this a local place (Toronto area)?

[ieatglue]

No, I think he was in the US. but check the yellow pages. You should be able to find something nearby

[2006 Blue TB SS]

There's a couple of places that do this sort of work. The only issue is one of them has a terrible reputation while the other does good work. I just can't remember which one was the good one :worried:

I'll check around and see if I can find the info.

Being that black is the fastest color, if i black out the rims will it be even faster? :undecided :laugh: j/k

You do realize that Blue paint pigment is lighter (and nicer obviously :yes: ) than Black paint pigment. Therefore, a Blue SS will be faster since it's about 50-60lbs lighter :crazy: :dielaugh:

[Scorch968]

Now we all know that Silver is the fastest color. :raspberry

[2006 Blue TB SS]

TROLL... :weird:

It is accepted that BLUE is the fastest colour and has now been scientifically proven (see previous post) :yes:

:D :D :D
