I've got a problem with picking wheel colors...
Alright, here's the deal. I really want to get the ADR M-Sports in 19X8.5 all around. I love the hyper black color but i cant get over how awesome gold wheels look on IP. I was wondering if anyone would think it would be stupid to powdercoat the wheels on the left side of the car GOLD and leave the right side Hyper Black. That way if i ever got bored with one color i could just go look at the other side of the car and be happy. Or maybe i'll be really happy with the look of the gold and just powdercoat the other two a little later. I've never seen anyone do it so i just need some input.
Some pics of the car and the wheels just for reference:

Do all or none. Roll with them factory color for a while then get them coated. It'll be like a new package.
I am going through the same thing right now. I want the J8 pros. I really want the bronze finish but they are only offeset for the coupe (so I've been told). The factory won't coat another proper set in bronze for me. I ordered gunmetal. Gold was my next choice for my Ivory Pearl sedan if I couldn't get the gunmetal. If I don't like the color, I'm going to get mine coated too.

However, I don't think it will work on all cars or with all wheels for that matter. Get the wheels in their regular color, drive around with them like that for a while. Then, when you get bored, powdercoat them all to gold. Powdercoating them immediately may be a bad idea, because their normal finish would probably grow on you. Powdercoating only 2 of the wheels is just straight up .
