    With my anal retentiveness, I managed to find 2 flaws total (on 2 different wheels) that likely came from not perfectly prepping them...smudges under the clear on the bare aluminum.

    But...I didn't pay for concourse, so I didn't ***** one bit.

      If you want waaaaay too much information...

      The original color of gold there is code 55 Aztec Gold (originally from 1976) that was used for the gold T/A wheels in 1989.

      AWR could not find a powdercoat that existed in code 55 Aztec Gold, but offered to custom mix a batch...for a price.

      Not.

      I told them just to get as close as possible...really don't have any clue what the actual color is, but they came extremely close to nailing it right on.

      For the multi step process I required, they were by far and away the most cost friendly shop that was quoted...two other shops quoted me $175 and $195 a wheel...

            Have you considered a dark gray instead of black. I think a nice gunmetal would make your car go a long way. You could probably have the whole set painted for a couple of hundred. I think this would be a much better choice for you...



            Here is a Formula in a similiar green with painted gun metal stockers. I think those SS wheels you've got would look great like these...

              Black wheels with a polished lip might look sharp...

                    Yeah, I could see that maybe working...

                    ...thats what I want to do on my car. The rims I want only come in silver and "hyper black" (gunmetal). Then again, my car is white.
