Powder Coated my BBS Wheels

Here are some pics of my freshly powder coated wheels!
i had to get the wheels painted or powder coated because one of them got damaged and I had to replace it with a 05 Mr Rim

After

Quality looks great but IMO I would've gone with a more unique color...it looks too close to the MR BBS

Thanks guys for the comments, its not the same color as the 05 MR BBS Wheels close tho. Its a little darker and looks more like the gun mettle Evo Color. You dont really notice the fleck only in lots of light or the sun.

I think you should have gone with an even darker hue. judging from the pictures, they look too much like the MR BBS wheels.

btw, what temp did u powdercoat the wheels at? when i got my wheels coated, i asked for a low temp bake so as to not compromise the wheel strength of the forged BBS wheels.

nice! so many people here dont realize that 400F powdercoating weakens forged wheels.
