Thinking of powder coating my stock turbo wheels either black or yellow. What do you guys think of yellow? Too much? I seen a pic of them in black and they look ok, never seen yellow though.

 

why powder coat vs painting?

 

Powder coating is more resistant to chipping than paint. BUT powder coating process involves cooking the wheels at temperatures that can easily harm some alloys, if not very carefully done. Talk to some of the knowledgeable wheel guys here on 6, like Mike Burroughs, who can be specific about the pros and cons of painting vs. coating vs. anodizing vs. plating.

 

My concern with yellow wheels is how long could I tolerate them before I powder coated them black - you can always accent them with a thin yellow strip.

 

That was my concern also, how long would I like them yellow. Your black wheels look good! For a second I thought you were a friend of ours by the name of Dr. Sullivan here iin OH. lol
