Don't paint
them flat black, cause that's what color I'm powdercoating my SSRs. You don't want to look like me, you just want to be fast like me (j/k). I think if I had a silver car (they're not as fast as the black ones), I'd probably go with gunmetal or a silver darker than your car. Black against silver might be too "dark". I wouldn't even consider gold on silver, just me.

Hey I have gold SDR's now..No you have it wrong Silver cars are faster it just needs more goodies installed...I got the flat black from Vishnu's car..But now you got me thinking about a darker silver I just want a darker color. I am having my spare trunk painted as we speak (well tommrow) and wanted a color that dosen't stand out and I don't have to worry about cleaning.

Well I talked to the guy today that is painting my trunk and he suggested instead of flat black and glossy black he said to go with a semi-gloss right in the middle. So does anybody know of a place that charges less than $75.00 per wheel thats the price I got from HI-Tech....I am putting 235/40 on my stock wheels..

I would
stick with Hi-Tech. That's where I'm heading. They did my header and downpipe (ceramic coating). I might just do that in between thing if I can see a sample.
