Powder coating avant garde m580 wheels! Color advice

Barry9020 · 07-25-2017, 01:19 PM

What's going on guys I currently have a set of avant garde m580 wheels on my car and I am thinking about getting them powder coated a different color. The car is a carbon black metallic f10 and the wheels are currently a regular silver color. I want to keep the wheels a lighter shade as I think black wheels don't really look nice on the carbon black metallic cars. Is there any color you guys would recommend? I even like the OEM finish the m sport 351 wheels have was thinking about powder coating them that color!

Bronze look?

Barry9020 · 07-26-2017, 12:10 PM

I'm thinking about changing it to one of these colors the dark chrome looks really nice imo

Bought my wheels from GetYourWheels and had mine done in Matte Antique Bronze

AG M621s are flow formed and available in 19x8.5/9.5 (11" soon) and 20x9/10/10.5

If it helps at all here's my carbon black with a similar dark chrome finish (forgot what Vertini called the finish). https://s8.postimg.org/ybyajhb6d/Full_Size_Render.jpg

Your wheel's color and the stock 351M wheels should be pretty close. I would recommend a gunmetal finish.

a gun metal finish would look clean. browse through GetYourWheels as they have a bunch of pictures to show different colors and variations just so you get an idea what you like

Ended up getting a "super chrome with tinted clear coat" the color came out great imo only thing I need to do is paint the center caps the same color. the center caps are plastic so the shop couldn't powder coat them but they recommended me a place that can match the paint and compress it in a can for me.

Looks great. Now get rid of that front reflector!

ezaircon4jc · 08-10-2017, 02:20 PM

lsturbointeg · 08-10-2017, 08:46 PM

Thanks! The exhaust tips are staggered so they always look a bit weird from the side angle but they look great from the back end lol I'll try to post a picture
