  • Opinions on powder coated wheels?

    The Lenso F-Body Wheels are really starting to grow on me.

    But their just a plain finish and nothing special. I would either have to have the wheels dipped in chrome or powder coated white. I don't see many F-Bodys running around with powder coated wheels so I was thinking this would look a little different. But how good would this look? Powder coating can look kind of ricey sometimes and that is something want to stay away from.

    There is nothing rice about powder coating. It is all in the color choice that will matter. Powder coating is very durable and is a great choice for a lasting finish. Neon green wheels on a blue car is not a great choice, but there are many other viable options. White wheels on a white car like the 30th anniversary Z, Black like the Covette Grandsport, silver like many oem wheels. I've seen other colors that were matched to the car and they can look sweet too!

      Two words: Black Chrome

      That is absolutely sick looking.

      I like those Lenzo wheels, but don't like the paltry 8.5" width. If they made them in a 9" or 9.5" I'd be there.

          I think powdercoating would look fine as long as you pick a color that looks classy.

          How about something like this.

                So guys what do you think? I got a friend to do some photoshopping and I told him what I wanted powder coated. This is what the rims would look like when I'm done with the powder coating.

                  I don't like the black on white look. I think you would be better off with a polished look on white. But that's just my humble opinion.

                    I Like it!

                    The black would have to be a black chrome, not a satin finish. In the end it's your choice anyway, but I think it looks trick.

                      i was in daytona this weekend and saw a white Z28 with white ZR-1 rims and it looked sick. I'd go with the chrome if not the white powder coating, not the black.
