ok so i have the dark gray color 06 sti and i was thinking about getting my bbs wheels powder coated. Here is my idea, i want to get the outside of the rim black and the inside of the rims pink, and the little sti on the front of the rim pink let me know what you think? or should i just do the whole rims black? also does any one know where i could get the black center caps with the pink sti logos??? thanks for looking

 

Powder coat em purple.

 

haha thanks but purple is not my color lol

 

Pink spokes with black lip would be sick... If you do it, you must post pictures.

 

I'm pretty sure the powder coating process is bad for the BBS wheels. I don't know for certain, but I know I've heard that theory thrown around a bit.

But my opinion on the wheels? Sounds horrible.

 

Really? do you have any idea y it is bad?? just in case?

 

defiantly will post pic's i dont know if i could pull off that but it does sound sick..

 

From what I understand, to powdercoat wheels you have to heat them to fairly specific temps. If the temps are not correct it affects the strength of the wheel. Just make sure its done by a proper place, like shipping to HRE Wheels, though it kinda seems cost prohibitive to do it correctly...As far as color, if you like it, then rock it!

 

pink and black wouldnt look that great on a bbs wheel IMO. maybe a wheel that has a lip on it. i really like the idea though. sounds very unique.

 

yeah a lip would set that of nicely i agree


welcome aboard

 

ya i know the guy thats going to do the powder coating and he is amazing at it, but i dont know really how much the sandblasting is gona affect it if it does? but thanks for the opinions i think im gonna go with just straight black and do the little sti on the front of the wheel pink.. =p ill post pics after i do it

 

Welcome to i-Club.

 

I Think you should sell the STI and get an RSX
tatally just kidding ha[=
I think you should get em black;] like you said.
I Love you.

 

I agree with others if it had a nice lip on the wheel then black and pink would look pretty good. As for the powder coating its not so good for them to be heated so high and can change how strong the wheel is in the end. You can do a search i am sure and see what others have said about powder coating.

Welcome to the club and enjoy your stay

 

for sure if i get some rims with a lip ill def do that getting them done tomorrow ill post pics up after there done just black and the little sti part on the rim will be pink
