After my red euro being stolen I have opted for brand new replacement CL9 which is due to come out in a week or 2 in white.

I had ordered some wheels (currently silver) before car went walkabouts and I am thinking about getting them powder coated. What colour you guys recommended on a white CL9 or should I stay with the the original colour.

I'd personally stay silver.

If then you don't like the look, then change the colour.

Car was only 10mths old area was in Lidcombe...
Cops caught the guys who did it and seems like they were stealing more cars the next couple of days after and finally got caught driving one of the stolen cars around..

Anyone know of a good powder coating place in Sydney??
If I go white can they powdercoat to match the colour of the car or do I need to get it painted to get same colour??

Originally I was thinking gunmetal/charcoal for my red euro...

i liked kenstyle but the more i look at it, it reminds me of a mazda 6.

yeah its kenstyle, the kit is alright but if i could afford it i would get the 06+ Mugen kit.

Im in perth but i had to pay $500 more for kit modifications because the kit was for 03-05 and not for 07. overall the kit cost me $1500 to modify, paint & install.:thumbdwn:

personally i recon my colour rims :) they go best with the chrome handles and so on and dont look tacky like some other colours, but i also recon black looks really good but that depends on what look u want luxury or sporty?

This is getting painful...

Like anything else design orientated, its not only current fashion, form v function but it's also completely subjective. It would be a boring world if we all drove around on exactly the same style and colour rims and there is no such thing as 'the best rims'...

pick your own rims and colour FFS, seriously how hard is it?

George euro
17-09-2008, 03:20 PM
not saying to go for those rims giving advice compared to people saying green. and yes i wouldnt want those exact rims being purchased for a white euro dont want 1000 going around looking the same.

thats a great looking wheel nice choice. If you ask me just leave them how they come from the factory. The factory finish (especially from rays) is going to better quality than a powder-coat job.

IF U REALLY WANT TO POWDER COAT THEM GO SHADOW CHROME , but personally leave them,
