since im getting new tires, and time attack is officially played out, and im cheapskate that dont want to buy new wheels, and my finish is pretty f*ed, what color should i powdercoat my wheels?

im thinking either a super metalic sparkling silver, or a glossy black, im trying to stay away from crazy neon colors also unless you have a REALLY good suggestion

Oh, didn't realize you already had black! Textured anthracite is a cool finish. I don't think any 8's have a textured wheel look either, you could be the first haha.

i was thinking about mag blue but the local powdercoater will not do it. He has had issues with them coming out in different tints. some darker or lighter than others. I decided 100% aginst it with my super rossa's

hrmm now that i think about it, i'm not sure if the anthracite will look good with the design of the gramlights,

+1 on Volk Mag Blue!

Keep in mind that textured, matte, gloss, etc are all variations of the same primary finish.

Mag blue would look sweet too

so thinking about going with a glossy flat dark gray finish, in lieu of magnesium blue, which i feel is still a little too flashy for my tastes,
the wheels on the evo were mag blue but i just did a simple desaturation to it

You could go with the Mettalic Gray from the Mazdaspeed kit. Also known as Mitsubishi Graphite Gray.

Amber to match your sidemarkers.

I did my 5 spoke wheels in gunmetal which is a similar color as anthracite. They came out great

FWIW I like the idea of Mag Blue on WWP. If you are concerned with it it being too flashy then have them darken the color a bit.
