    Powdercoating Alpinas a color?

    I mean it is kinda hard to really say " I want my wheels powdered green". They are not RSs, which are seen and found everywhere in different colors. I think I have seen factory silver, gunmetal grey, and polished ( as I have now). I really want to go a metallic gold,but I feel it is just one of those wheels you leave basically alone in the color department. Your thoughts?

            Do it be different everyone always does the same thing.

            I don't think gold would look bad.

                I reckon if your car is black, gray or bronzit (srsly) go gold, otherwise keep em silver.

                  Hard to say... depends on the color of your paint. Body color with machined lips possibly?

                        Do it! Yes they are not a common wheel but if you don't like it you can always have them finished again someday. Once you get them refinished regardless of color they are not org anymore. So why not do something interesting and if you get bored or don't like it then factory color it is!

                          Are you talking about real Alpinas, or knockoffs?

                            Real. If they were Kopis, I would not care.

                              Just do it. If everybody cared what the world thought of them we would all be mindless zombies.
