Bronze powdercoated wheels on a yellow car?
 

Not a fan, sorry. I would rock white though (if they didn't get dirty so fast).

Are you kidding? That looks like ass.

The bronze looks like black w/ a tinge of the car's body color. The white looks like... uh... ass, like I already said.

:lol: I actually don't like either all that much. I think bronze paint would look okay (like on the S202), but PC'd gold and bronze always looks odd to me.

I'm confused. The method of color application makes bronze look good or bad to you?

Yes. For example, my black PC'd rims have a tinge of blue to them in certain light. Black painted rims wouldn't have that issue. Bronze and gold PC'd rims often have a green tinge to them as compared to their painted counterparts.

Uh, only if you pick a color with those tinges in them. The only difference between powder coat and paint is that powder coat is delivered dry then baked to bond, while paint is delivered wet and evaporates to bond. They can both be any color you want them to be.

If you say so.

Yeah, this is especially apparent with black because there are so many different shades of black.

May I suggest that someone split off this discussion from Matt's FS thread. I feel kind of bad about talking shit about PCing in this thread. I know, doesn't sound like me at all. :P

Plus w/ P/Cing, there are tons of finishes since matte/gloss is just an additive to the powder, so you can pick how matte/glossy the final result is by percentage. Chances are, that's why P/C wheels tend to look different than painted wheels... they're probably a 10% matte or something that you simply never see done w/ paint which is usually only in matte, semi-gloss, or high-gloss.

Good idea... this thread has legs!

Anybody have some other S202 pics? I didn't find much on Google.

um...the posted pic isn't an S202...the pic is an 07 Spec C Type RA-R.

This is an S202...I bet you knew this, I just wanted to sound smart... :lol:

The original reference was from this post in another thread (which this was a part of until it was split out).

Meh, I want to like it, but I just don't think I do. I wouldn't mind a darker bronze or something like a gun metallic with gold flecs...like Java Black Pearl or whatever that Suby color's called.

I still think these would be the hotness for my car.

Special edition WRXs are special enough already. That's like putting a body kit on a 22b.

I like the yellow like speed yellow in 911 Turbo. But I think my red car is enough for me.

Word, those do look hot. I'm coming around to the bronze wheels.

V2 lip stays. Beefs up the front end.

Actually, that's a replica - it's an '03 WRX with a bunch of add-ons.

Oh...well, still looks sick..

This car's on the NASIOC homepage right meow.

Meh, with the polished lip, I'm even less of a fan.

That's more of a goldish color than bronze anyway, IMO.

It still looks better than black. :P

No.

HAHAHAH^

I think the main problem is the yellow paint. :unamused:

I know, you'd prefer PC. :unamused:

Yeah, I believe that's actually Rota's Royal Gold color :p Nothing bronze about it.

Also: :lol:

I don't like the gold or bronze on the yellow. I do like white or black.

Thank you...I thought I was taking CRAZY PILLS!!! :eek:

I like black wheels the best on yellow.

what about some nice yellow wheels they will at least match.

I met a guy on a dirt drive that had yellow wheels (painted stockers) on his WRB bugeye WRX. That was kinda cool. However, I can honestly say that I will never be okay with yellow wheels on my car. I did like the look when Kris painted his stock wheels black with a yellow lip though.

You really can't go wrong with Yellow on Yellow, expecially if you add bright green numbers for auto x.

I just saw a car driving around with black wheels and a yellow lip. I think it was a IS250. I thought it looked good. You should do that.

If Cody runs giant lemonade ads on his car for the upcoming autox season, he may very well become my personal hero.

Incontinence medication is another possibility. :~:

Continence is an Activity of Daily Living. ;)

I think this looks pretty clean.

Not bad.

Also, not black. ;)

I think you should go with yellow, just for the opportunity to add up to 4 more shades!

More yellow would be more gooder. :idea:

Wow. There's almost a halo coming off that thing, it's so bright.
