Question Powder-Coat my BBS wheels... where/Color?

Well my BBS wheel will be done with the repair tonight("freddys" dude has some crazy hrs...around 7:30pm till 3:00am). Now I just need to choose what color and where I'm going to have them powder-coated.

Need input.


****Colors in poll is if the place can do it****

Oh and I have a blue STi & the wheels are gold right now...if that helps.

18hr sez Black wouldn't look good on blue.

I think royal just means polished lip. The colors look different but I think it's just the angle/lighting

Rota's Gunmetal is more black than "gunmetal" itself. But the Rota color is actually real gunmetal color anyway(whoever used Gun-blue knows what I mean). I really like bronze w/ the lip on blue. Not gold, but bronze.

Damn.....

I just got the wheel back and it looks good. I had really bad curb rash (I mean the worst I've ever seen/ it cut Sean's hand) on almost 1/4 of the lip and it's all gone.

Also it looks really good because......I don't know if you can tell by the pic but gold w/ polished lip look bad @ss. It's too bad some of the paint got roasted or I just would of had him polish the 3 other wheel lips.
