Thumbs up Powder Coated Wheels!!!

Finally got my powder coated wheels today and one thing I must say...theyre awesome!!! Gemtech did an excellent job on my wheels for $231. Took the wheels and tires to Discount Tire and they too did an excellent job on mounting and balance for $48. Now I'm going to install them on my car. Here are some pics of the wheels with tires. I'll post some pics after installing them. Have fun yall.

Name of the color was Blue Streak II

Yes indeed. I never saw or knew anyone with a blue wheels on any car so I took the opportunity to do them on my stock wheels. Just want to be different in some ways.

The sun was out already when I installed the wheels so I took a shot inside my garage.

Not feeling that at all. Sorry, but it looks like you're just ricing out an Evo.

Thanks for your comment. For me, ricing out my Evo is probably the dumbest thing I would do. Just wanted to do something different and never seen before.

You're on the money. Thats just exactly what I think when I first saw them after picking them up. Thanks.

Yup, thats what I did. I played GT3 and used a black Evo VII and watch the replay with some different wheel color on motion. I tried white, red, blue, bronze, gunmetal and black. Blue captured my heart.
