he said he wanted them to look UGLY!

i say neon green....but brown swirls. i think thats gross.

forget powder coating. rattle can those. personal experience....mine didnt really chip with the paint during canyon runs. and its only like 2 bucks per can.

hahaha. yea peach wheels might look good. i still havent decided on a color, but ive been driving around all day, looking a different color cars, trying to get ideas and being in oakland and looking at all the scrapers with the candy coated paint, ive come to the conclusion that there are too many ugly colors in the world!!

I have powder coated wheels, but I think that beside all the crazy color choices, the depth of anodizing can't be beat! If you go overboard and decide to go for "hard anodizing" it will be harder finish than powder coating! Colors are highly bright, almost neon with metallic sparkle and texture, but very smooth to the touch.
I tried finding a nice picture of color samples, but none can do it justice!
Check yellow pages and go to an anodizing place and check the colors for yourself, outside in the daylight (sun).
You will end up making a choice on the spot and most likely will be something you could not even think of without seeing it yourself.
Most places won't charge more than $25-30 per wheel.

I am going to strip my white OZ's and anodize them. Yeah, no money at the moment so color choice is not decided yet.
