Help me decide on what color to powdercoat my Le28n's..
I have a GG evo with gold Le28n's and I want to powder coat them a darker color.
My valve cover and Brembo brakes are currently being powder coated in "Candy Teal".

Right now I'm leaning towards Volk Racing Mag Blue, a nice contrast that will go well with Candy Teal Brembos. At least that's what I'm hoping for.


My two other options are:
Diamond Black
gunmetal w/polish lip.

Let me know what you guys think .


Mag blue:

Sorry man, but IMO GG looks the best when the wheels are a matching or some what matching color.

Black or Gunmetal only because they are the only shades of wheels I like or will ever own

Gunmetal but no polished lip. Flat black is always good also.

Yeah, same here but it's hard to pull off..I think it would look nice with Candy Teal Brembos and work teal/blue lug nuts though. That's what I am trying to picture in my head.
