powdercoat rpf1?

im getting bored of my silver rpf1s 17x9.5 on my ww, not to mention brake dust is awful. any thoughts or ideas about what color to powdercoat, or paint?

im leaning towards gloss black. mark1 suggested gold. feel free to photochop too

thanks

I've seen them in gold and black before and I think they look best in silver. I would be interested to see what they look like with the center spokes and middle black, and the rest silver.

Go for the glossiest black you can get.

A few of my customers have painted them a dark marine blue which looked pretty good. Gold works well on those wheels.

Hey bro, it's not an Evo but I got tired of the bright silver as well and painted my RPF1's gunmetal. I like it a lot and eventually I'll get them powdercoated in this color.

Damn, 19" RPF-1's!

You don't see too many with that center cap either. Looks good.
