Gold 57extreme's

Hey Guys and Gals, this is the first time i post of my car on this forum. A while back I was in the market to buy wheels, however I could not find a spoke pattern that I really liked. I settled on 57 extremes however they were in winning blue, I was wanting them in gold but they do not come like that. So before I powder coat them I plastidipped them in a gold. Let me know what you guys think.

Beautiful. Dark wheels, especially black, are played out. These look awesome, brotha.

They look much better gold.

Thanks guys, I was really looking for more contrast when choosing the gold.

Thanks,,I have had a ton of positive feedback while driving and now Im just looking for a reputable shop to powdercoat here in SA

looks good! Im considering these rims. I don't know which color though as I have mercury gray

Wow gold looks so good on WW.

I'm thinking about keeping my stock BBS wheels and getting them powder coated gold.

Looks good. I'd save the money and not PC the wheels. The plasti dip came out great and if you decide to sell the wheels you can always remove the dip back to oem color.

Dr.G Jul 30, 2014 08:21 PM

You have a very good point, the plastidip came out better than expected and is holding up to daily use. If anyone wants to know how or which color I used.
3-4 base coats of vintage gold
4+ coats of top secret gold pearl....the more coats the deeper the tone of gold
The guys at dipyourcar were really helpful when telling them what color I wanted,,,and that was a deep rich gold not watered down but something that pops{thumbup}

For some reason I have always loved contrasting color wheels on cars..and IMO i love the volk red on grey cars, really clean look, gold will also look nice.
