Just had my Rota grids powdercoated gloss black, was toying with the idea of cocaine white, but bottled it last minute!!!
Wr Blue and white looks cool, think black has been done to death!!!

I have a black WRX and had mine done in anthracite by The Wheel Specialist last month - they look stunning.

They look good when they're done but you need to clean the brake dust off regularly.
My fronts were peeling after about 12 months.

I really don't like black wheels, so hard to pick out the detail on them.
Gun Metal though... love it

If I had a dark blue car I'd go for white all day long.

Are you thinking of powdercoating the bog standard Bug/Blob WRX wheels? As mentioned they have been known to fail after the heat treatment........

I think your XXR wheels in gold look nice on a black car, The only thing I dont like is the XXR gold is a bit dull, Id prefer them in a gloss gold which would look nice!!!
