I think powder-coating them 'brake dust color' would be ideal. ; -)

After I put the car in storage this fall I'm yanking the rims and having them power coated in Black Chrome. I did this on my NSX and they came out fantastic.

It's a silly term probably coined from a lousy Japanese to English translation referring to events where you race against the clock... But in this context, it's mostly a marketing name to get the kiddies excited...

But I wouldn't be surprised to hear someone say that they have attacked time and lived to talk about it. j/k

Well I know it's like a time trial, but I think in this context it might be a color? What does it look like.

Looks like wheels from the Batmobile. Would look better without the red trim, and gloss black as opposed to matt. I think matt gray Ultraleggeras, anthracite BBS CK, or diamond black BBS RG-Rs would look best on a silver car. The first two are somewhat budget wheels.

The red wouldn't be that pronounced but that is the general ideal. With some dark window tint, it would pull it all together. Nate

My only question on powdercoating is would the finish crack in the lug holes? Also satin finish would look best, like the old Porsche 911 Fuchs wheels, matte would just look like you rattlecanned it.

^^ Why do so many think AW is so great??? They must be color blind??? ;-)

That (above) does look good! And the shodowline grills I have sitting on my shelf would futher enhance the very aggressive look!

I think it will just add more weight to already heavy rims.

Concur. The wheels are painted now so what difference would it make to the lug holes. Assuming the silver paint is sufficiently removed first.
