Default Mine are powdercoated "Holland Grey"

Turned out OK, but wish I would have kept them silver.

Default are you talking about the rims in your sig?

i use my stock 10 spoke sport rims as winter rims. They're pretty beat up, so could use a refinishing. i figured that while i'm at it, it might be good to go darker. what don't you like about the darker color? i think it looks pretty cool on your car.

Default Yeah, the ones that are in my sig.

They look fine, but I wish that they were a lighter in color. When I chose the color that I wanted it looked fine on the test sample I was shown, but on the wheels it looks much darker. I think it would look better if I had a darker car to go with it.

But many people have given me compliments, so it can't look too terrible.

I would say that if you want to do it, go for it.

Default Looks good to me. Big plus, you probably don't see the dust :)

I am thinking of painting my winter wheels the color of brake dust so I don't have ot worry about cleaning my wheels!
