Has anyone else considered changing the color of the stock evo rims?

I may look into getting some larger rear brakes so the brake dust is more even.

There is at least one person in the Tarmac Black forum that has his coated blue....

Only problem is you have to remove your tires and weights, and them have them remounted and balanced.

look close at the pic. I'm pretty sure it's a blue one.


I personally want to do gunmetal. It'll go great with my taillights and window tint.

I had mine powdercoated which is more durable than painting. Here is a couple pics:

when i get the rims that i want, i will probably powdercoat me stockers somthing crazy. neon orange is what i am thinking. sure it would be ugly as all hell, but who cares, they would only be on for the brute of summer, and track days.
