Just got the Wheels Powder Coated and windows tinted this week. Mega world base BEV Model.

That's different!

Do you have a straight side-on view? All these angles are doing my head in. :)
 
The blue accent looks awesome, but i think it would also look cool with just the blue accent and the silver as per original finish on the large triangle area.

Definitely different. I've never been a fan of those wheels, too much spoke and not enough gap, I think your paint scheme has improved them.

Looks like you have pretty dark tint, should set them off nicely.
 
Yeah dude that's what I'm talking about! So I would say for myself anyway, that your wheel color change to black and blue substantially helped that poor wheel. That's a big difference, way to chance it!

So can I ask how you got the blue? You powder coated the wheel in black then painted in the blue? Or is there some sort of two powder coat process that I'm not aware of?

I'm still mulling over going with new wheels and all seasons for the winter months and taking my 20" wheels off. This is definitely a great alternative choice to think about.

Good job man!

Thanks,

You are exactly right, powder coated wheels black and then painted the blue.
