Powder Coated Rims **POST PICS**

[Sam1]

Guys, I’m picking up a set of 19” brand new on Friday. Want to powder them the same colour as the new model S 21” wheels…as well as the centre cap and cover to match. Amazing they are essentially the same wheel but in 19” format for M3.!

I’m picking up a black on black M3 and want the T decals to also match the same colour as the wheels gun metal or charcoal or whatever it is. Figure gun metal decals on black would look classy! No chrome

Thoughts?

What brand are the wheels? Was thinking if you're not in a rush, check out the Jova wheel thread and contact Kate to see if they have a set of the arachnid replicas. Not sure if they sell them or not, but they might, because they have a lot of designs that are not listed on the website.

Or, do you mean you're picking up a set of the 19" model 3 sport wheels, and not aftermarket? The sport wheel designs look nothing like the arachnids.

Original color was gun metal.

Have been curious on this, are you able to keep your wheels clean without too much work over the past few months?

So is powder coating recommended over simply good quality paint? If so, why?

And I see a few people mentioned ceramic coating the wheels. Is this only for when they are powder coated or same if painting as well?

Powder coating is more durable. You can ceramic coat both painted and powder coated wheels.

I've seen the "Tesla" lettering on the red calipers. Was that stock or did you have it painted and add a sticker?

Admittedly not powder coated, but painted. I had them in to fix some scratches and decided to do a color change. I boosted the exposure and contrast settings to show detail in the pic, so they appear lighter here than they actually are.

Painted is good too, every manufacturer wheel I know of is painted, not powder coated. Your car looks just right to me.

Thank you, George. I couldn’t be happier with the results.

By the way, after all these years has Jane finally stopped that crazy thing?

Hi, I realize this is an old post but I have a question for @Mod Y Guy or others who have powder coated Color/Finish: Satin Grey from JRWheel. I couldn’t find the exact color name “Satin Grey” or “Gunmetal” or anything on Prismatic Powders.

Just had my wheels done today. It’s nearly impossible to capture the true color of the wheels in a photo but this first pic is the best example I have. It’s a really nice dark grey with a bit of pop to it (better looking than the Performance Grey 20” color IMO; the Performance seem a bit dull in comparison).
