Winter Color Scheme?

For winter, I will be putting back my OEM 16in stock wheels. My car is pewter I was looking to powder coat / plastidip them a color. I don't really like the black plastidip look though. Ideas?

Powdercoat them an interesting color. Since it's winter, it'll brighten your day. Especially since you have such a neutrally colored car. Powdercoating will hold up well to the salt and snow too.

Plasti dip your whole car green and your wheels red for a whole christmas theme (Kidding)

I have always found that gun metal flows really nicely with pewter. You could always play around with different colors if your using plasti dip, comes off super easily.

Mmmm - mag blue is definitely a yummy color. Saw a guy who had his RPF01s powdercoated in it, and they looked amazing.

I'm more of a neutral person so personally I'd go with gun metal. I've seen some pretty fly cars with gold rims though. Not sure how well that would go with your car color.

The fronts wouldn't be white for very long.

Of course, I'm a big fan of the blaze blue, since I have an Orion Blue car. Might make sense to spray one to see if you like the color.

I'll put the brake dust covers back on that came with the car!
And yeah I think i'll buy a few cans of blue to see how it looks with pewter
