I'm going to paint my ce28n in few days, and having a hard time which color to go.

I have two colors in mind which are Orange, and blue.

I have WW evo 8

Orange color will be pretty much same as this wheels

and for blue, it will be something like this ( Pictures attached )

Please help me decide ( Orange or Blue ) !
and any other suggestion would be appreciated with a paint code !!

 

Blue

 

Keyword is "paint". I wanted to come in and recommend that you do in fact paint them and don't powdercoat them. Powdercoating forged wheels is sketchy.

As for color, I prefer the blue over the orange. How about trying something florescent? Florescent yellow would be fresh!

 

Yup, I won't powdercoat forged wheels
I'd like to stand out, but not too much like florescent yellow.
I wanted to do F-zero blue, but Volks never give their paint codes.. and I thought that this Lexus blue color is pretty close to F-zero blue.. paint cost me $400, so I've got to choose carefully

 

yeah my vote is for blue.

 

go for Blue as well. Maybe you could try the special edition blue that the Enkei Rpf1's came with also. That blue is sick

 

Blue! Orange is played out!!

 

I know I would tire of orange too quickly. blue would be better choice.

 

I vote for the blue, it'd be unique. Have you thought about a Monster Energy Green or a dark cherry red like these?

 

^ that is a nice red.

 

Pardon my stupidity but why can't you powdercoat a forged wheel?

As for what color to do your wheels I say blue!

 

supposedly, the excessive heat used to melt the powder in the powdercoat process is believed to weaken the forged metal. in my experience, i have powdercoated tons of volk wheels... SE37K, CE28N, TE37...and have used them on the track many many many times without failure. i think its just personal preference, and also how comfortable you feel about going through with it....

as for the OP, i would say keep it a neutral color like black, silver, or my favorite....a medium to dark gray thats really shiny! =)

 

Purple.

 

Repainted to this blue !

 

It is enough of a problem that no rim manufacturer will warranty their wheels if you powder coat them. That is where the crux of the argument should be.

However, we digress and go OT.

On topic!

I would go with orange. Because EB exists, having a color that is outside the pallet of all Evo's would be more unique in my eyes.
