Thanks for the input. And yeah I know the struggle of having that "4x4" look. I have an X so my options are limited. I bought a set of eibach, just waiting for the spring time to install them.
It is really hard to find a gunmetal/charcoal color that screams out to me since there are so many options when looking at powder coating Haha. But I'm definitely leaning towards bronze and charcoal.

. I think I'm gonna have a nervous breakdown
. Seriously though, I'm viewing color options on a computer which is not really the optimum way to choose a color. Most of the colors I want to see don't have sample swatches already made at the shop I've been talking to and you can only choose a limited number of swatches for free. It's gonna drive me nuts having the brake upgrade sitting in my garage while choosing the right color. And on top of all that, the thought had occurred to me that I should powder coat my wheels now that I know there is such a wide selection of colors to choose from. I found a website that has so many different color combinations, it'll drive a man insane trying to choose.Prismatic Powders: Powder Coating Colors
Their gallery has some sick work done by various businesses that use their powders.
Good luck on your search and post up when you've made your decision and installed.

Hey everyone,
I was planning on getting new rims for my Blue Slate G37 Coupe and couldn't decide on a color. I was trying to decide between matte silver, bronze, gunmetal and charcoal. Any opinions on this? Pictures regarding any of these color combinations would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Yeah, don't even get me started on powder coating color options. I'm looking to get my new Akebono calipers done and I'm completely overwhelmed with how many color variations there are

I wanted to get Akebonos, too! But I am trying to find the best deal for them and if I do end up going bronze, I don't really know what color to get the calipers in to match. But yeah, I have already down a couple modifications to my car, but didn't want to post any pictures yet because it isn't anything impressive. I'll definitely keep you posted, though!


I'm partial to a titanium, gun metal, or gray on the Blue Slate. Everyone has there own idea what looks good. Just go with what you like best.
Before anyone says "lower that 4x4"
, I have a set of KW V1's in my garage just waiting to be installed on my week off
. ***update, accidentally deleted a photo that was connected to this thread. So here's a new photo with the car lowered***
Good luck with your search. Took me 5 months to make a decision based on budget and taste.
