Cyclone gray,...powder coat wheels??

[Pappa Prich]

Okay, I've tried searching but I can't find a picture, if anyone has done it...I have a cyclone gray 06 and I'm tinting my windows this week and I want to powdercoat the wheels a color to go with it...I'm thinking either gun-metal or black?? First of all, what do you guys think, and what is the best/easiest product to use to do it?? Also, does anyone have any pictures?? Thanks!

p.s. I have the stock 17's...and I don't want to spend the money on new rims, thus the powder-coating or painting

Personally, I think the stock silver looks best on the wheels to offset the grey. That being said, I'd go for a gunmetal or hyper black type finish with CGM as I think black rims would stand out too much. I'd have them done by a professional to ensure no issues.

One other option is to paint part of the stockers in an argent and leave the inner spokes silver similar to the old school Pontiac Rallye II wheels. One member here did this and posted pics a while ago and it looked really good. On CGM I think it would be slick. If you search on "Rallye II" it may come up.

Edit: Here's a link showing a picture of the 17's done the way I was describing: http://www.ls2gto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8680 1&highlight=rallye
