Wheel color

Im thinking about getting my wheels powdercoated this color. Its called Galaxy Grey. Im Got quoted $380 for all four faces.

Im going to see if he has anything less sparkly and more smooth.

By the way, I have a 2005 IP. Keeping the lips the way they are, just getting the faces done.


I know a lot of you will say keep the gold but I want something different. Also the gold only seems to look good directly from the side/ profile shot. At an angle it seems to show kind of pale and just doesn't look right. At least not in my opinion.

Is it worth trying to trade someone for something similar to the color you want?

Depends on what they have^^

I talked to the guy at the shop and he said the color isn't sparkly at all. He said it was just an effect the camera was making.

Rowe... Leave the wheels they way they are. They look good as-is. What ever happened with the R1's?

Man iv been all over the place about changing the wheels. I cant make up my mind on them so I decided just to keep them. I do want to change the gold though. Just isnt my "style". To flashy for me. Thanks for the compliment though

Hello, you have an IP coupe! There's only three color wheels that look good with IP, Gold (which you already have) Polished (apparently you don't like that look) and black. GM might not look too bad but you need to consider what it would do for your IP coupe....nothing! Stay with the gold centers or go with black.... your choice!

Black is one of my favorite color wheels on Ip but I was just thinking about going different since there are a lot of black wheels out there.. On every car. But idk i guess theres a reason.
