Here's the wheel modification I was talking about a few weeks ago... Powder Coated "graphite" to match the grapite color on the OEM grill...

 

You lost me a little (keep in mind I am color blind). you are matching the wheels on the side of the car to match the greyish??? grill on the front??? of the car?

I am a little confused as to what item you are trying to match. If the item is not on the side of the car then it won't make sense from the side or rear quarter views and will only match the car from a front corner views...

i believe he is referring to the gray plastic part of the front grill.

my question is...are the rims photoshopped or have they truly been painted and this is a picture of the real thing?

i think it looks cool on the black....nice job! thats one spotless black crossfire.

 

The spoke color matches the darker graphite metallic on the front plastic grill. The powder coat colors that match are called "Iron Glimmer P7", and the remaining silver on our car is called "Bavarian Silver".

This is photoshopped as the powder coater needs the wheels for a week and the car will be going up on blocks on Wednesday so they can remove the wheels and tires to powdercoat them this way...

I wanted to see the entire wheel mod. before I committed to it...

 

If I were going to do what you've photoshop'd, I'd do it in black to match the car. I think that would be a better contrast, and give it something to match.

 

I think those wheels look hot as hell.

 

ditto on the black - there is not enough of the gray on the side of the car the make the accent of they graphite work well. It would be like making them red to match the platic lenses in the rear. Of course I am color blind so I could be wrong.

Say Dereck i know you may want the Powder coat but I do know a mobile guy that will paint your wheels in one day and do it on the car !about 125 a wheel.And if you ever need touch up he can repair them later!#Rob,6613733232,he also does stock wheel repairs.He did 2 of my jag mags came out like new.On the car!

 

I thought about getting the centre troughs in the spokes done in graphite to match my graphite car. Think that would look nice.

The above looks alittle out of place IMO, just doesn't tie in with anything else on the side ... sorry

 

I think they look good.

those look excellent, what did that set you back?
