Powdercoat opinion needed

[Raped Ape]

I am contemplating picking a set of these staggers up from thecustomwheelshop.com, I think what I would like to do once I receive them is to send them off to be powder coated in the same pearl white as the car, just the spokes mind you, what is your all's opinion, do you think as I do that it would look good to color match em?

personally, i don't like color matched wheels.
i'd run those on my mark as is. i really like that style.

I would definatley have the spokes matches, but also make sure that they do it right and that after they pc the spokes they go over the hole thing with a clear. then after that just wax your wheels and away you go, no need to ever polish them

I agree with the style remark, but I do not know if that gunmetal gray would match the pearl body color. The other option I was thinking was possibly black spokes.

go over the hole thing with a clear.

There is no other option with me but to put a clear on them to protect the finish, not so mush as the powder coat as powder coat is a much durable and strong powder, but the lips would diffinately need it to seal the bare aluminum.

someone photochop it, i dont think it would look good. there was this old dude in vero beach fl a few years back he had a gen 2 white lsc and he powdercoated his 10 spokes white and omfg it looked so horrible white wheels on a white car make it look like its from the 80's or give it that rice effect

I have those wheels on my Mark, if you have lowered it you may need to roll the lip a bit.

Dew it

I guess mine are a little diff, but this will give you an idea of the lip on that rear wheel.

Thanks, I am familiar with the wheel and staggered types. I just sold last year my 06 Chip Foose GT, and I had the Staggered Chip Foose Nitrous in 19 and 18 in size. The bad part about a staggered wheel is the lack of not being able to rotate them. But that is no biggie in my mind. A deep dish in my opinion looks good. Thanks

I always liked these, you would need a hub swap.
Dont know how they would look on the Mark but if I had a new mustang I would roll them.
I do love my wheels I got from Brad.
