powdercoating my 22"s.cant decide what color?..photoshop maybe??

[brandon34r]

need to get the wheels coated for summer and had my mind set on gloss black,but its pretty normal to see a white truck with black wheels around here so I thought about white possibly?I dont know if i'd like it or not though.Can someone with good photoshop skills throw black wheels on it and also white wheels?Keep in mind my centercaps are staying chrome.Any input would be appreciated!

Have you thought about just having the spokes PC'd black, and having a chrome outer lip and chrome center cap?

That would be sick...

i did,and really wanted that,but the chrome is messed up bad throughout the whole wheel on 2 of em from driving through winters and having a dog piss on one of them

From one white truck owner to another, leave them chrome. It looks great as is. With your other white accents I don't think you have enough black to pull it off.

im not leaving them chrome,they are too messed up as they are now and im not paying an arm and a leg to get them re-dipped

[brandon34r]

also taillights are going to be nite-shaded black and headlights will be black with HID's

cant really say that I am.Didnt want chrome wheels from the get go,but my buddy sold em to me for $200 with tires.Cant beat that!each wheel is 380 and tires are in the 200 each range so you figure out 200 for the wheels and 200 for powder,plus the cost of stripping and I still payed less for them than I would have anyhow.

[theTman]

200 bux for 22's, thats unreal haha, hey whatever floats your boat color wise man! i paid about a grand for a nice set of chrome rims for my truck, i would put the on in april and take them off early november, had them for 2 years and had no chips, pits, or anything wrong with them

then i sold them to my freind who put them on his truck and ran them until about the 2nd salting they put on the roads:o


BTW, i have ALWAYS loved white vehicles with black wheels, def. go for black

[brandon34r]

yep wheels will be taken off for winters after I get them done the way I always wanted them.
thanks for the photoshop and the white f-150 with the white wheels.Im really liking the white wheels also,could be different around here.Maybe ill get them done in white and if I dont like it ill get them done in black!

[jason_31]

def go gloss black or flat black, the only way to go! i have an alpine white bmw and i was going to get rims last year (now this year) it was a color called black chrome, look into that maybe to, might not be possible for pc'ing tho im not sure....good luck!

the black looks great but has become a "common" thing now,

white on white would like killer, and would be unique

yes,you can get black chrome powdercoating but im not that into it.All my past cars and trucks have had both chrome and black wheels on them at one time or another so i wanted to switch it up a bit.

your also right about black being the new chrome so its time to go a new route

[jason_31]

i guess that makes sense but white rims seem so cheap and also a little over done by people with hondas that just watched tokyo drift lol (not in anyway meant to offend everyone with a honda )

like jay-z said in the Hustlin' remix with Rick Ross

"White on white....hater get lost",

def. get white because you will probably be the only one in your town with that combo
