Anyone with them polished, painted, or PC'ed? I looked on the wheel repository, the few painted graphite looked great, but I'd like to see some stuff on QSM. Search functions been broke for a while now. Thanks for your help guys.

Seach function isn't broke, per say. You just can't type in the word "stock" without getting an error. Our illustrious owner apparently doesn't care to fix it.

Thanks guys, I've had my eye on gun metal for a while now!
Boostcreep,
Are those rims painted gunmetal? I see that the other poster had his powder coated. I was hoping to paint them to see how I like them, but I'm concerned about how well they will hold up to washing, using wheel cleaner on them ect.
What paint brand and color are people using that paint their rims gunmetal? What method was used to make them as durable as possible? Thanks for the help and all the responses.

yes they are gunmetal. As far as cleaning I have been just using soap and water and real light on the wheel cleaner. They have held up great. There are a few scratches but it is all from me. A late night emergency wheel change in the dark resulted in a few chips by the holes where the lugs nuts go on and a few other from a wheel dolly (loooong story) But as far as road debris and whatnot the paint has done well. As far as how it was done and what brand/color exactly you should ask 04gtoowner he's the one who did the work and who I bought them from. He did a great job, and even with my few screw ups they still look great. I say DO IT! once you get it all figured out how. Gunmetal looks amazing on QSM, I get compliments almost daily.

Those pics look amazing! I love how gunmetal turns that odd color in just the right angle with some sunlight.
Just need to get rid of that spoiler :D

Very nice, perfect pictures for me as your car looks identical to mine. From the tint to the spoiler delete, though I don't have side markers or clear corners. Very clean, it looks great, I'll have to consider that color. I suppose that isn't something you can buy in duplicolor is it? Or did you have them professionally sprayed? Thanks for sharing!

No duplicolor, color choice is above the first picture.
