303m Wheel Color Choice

Looking to get my wheels powder coated next week but I'm still not sure as to what color would be a good choice against sophisto grey besides black. I know I want a satin finish for sure. But does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

With grey, I would go with either black or, if you're feeling something exotic, a copper or bronze color.

I've seen some awesome gray/bronze combos, but its not quite as low profile as a black/gray.

Well, anything but black. I would go with some ferric grey to have some match, or normal OEM silver. Black looks cheap most of the times.

Have you thought about plasti dipping first before you powder coat? If you don't like it then you take it off and go with a different color. If you like it then get it powder coated. Win-win.

I know some people knock plasti dip, but I've seen some really good looking finishes, especially now that they have metallic and gloss and whatever else.

Just a thought.
