Powdercoat OEMS

So, today is the day I will finally be getting new winter tires for the evo. Thinking about getting steelies for the winter tires, and while I'm in Oregon for Xmas break have them powdercoated. But here's the hard part.... What color? As everyone knows I wanted to go with pink, but Kyle drives the car more often than I do.. so I'm willing to be nice and do a unisex color. LOL. BUT I still want to be a little girly, so here are my options: Takata green, Orange, or just be mean and go with pink. I like all 3 colors but I'm soo indecisive, so I want to hear what you all say about this. And what ever color I will be going with I will change the colors of the emblems to match

Let the voting begin!!Thanks guys
Here's a pic of my car....

@ ownedevo - she has a WW X.

Keenan runs pink wheels on his TB, are you saying he is a girly-man? On the WW any of those colors would go well. I'm thinking the Green as I think nils runs a WW/orange combo. Granted, I don't think he has a X. Of course, I think there is also a known person running the WW/TG combo as well. Hmmm.

What about a nice poo brown, similar to the color you can get the Toyota LF-A painted in?

Sir Kyle can take one for the team!

Honestly I dont care for any of the colors you gave options for, i'd go with derwent or brittish racing green if I had to choose a shade of green, but if it was my car i'd go with something totally plaid out like color shift purple/blue or digital camo.

Does he drive an 8 and live in the Tacoma area? I see a white 8 with TG oem wheels at the college all the time.

^^I know this guy down in my hometown of Bend, OR. He charges about $150 for the set.

We like all the options and Sammy is super indecisive so if we dont get some other kind of influence they will never get painted or I would paint them cammo out of bordom with out her knowing.
