Mine are powdercoated bronze. Personally, I love the way they look; everyone else seems to wonder why I didn't get silver or white.

I think you should throw the OEM tails back on.

did they stay glossy? i was gonna do mine, but i got my valve cover powdercoated, and it didn't stay real glossy for very long. i didn't want my wheels fading like the cover did.

Default my civic

I agree that the stock taillights would go better on my car. However, I have the '97's and dont care much for their look.

As far as glossyness (is that a word?) goes, I think it would depend on who does the work and the method they use. A friend of mine has a set of black powdercoated camaro wheels and they look great; 2 years after they were done. On the other hand, another friend had his wheels powdercoated white and they look like **** now.

If your near CO, I could suggest a few places that do decent work.

didnt thoses come bronze (i forgot the brand,..isnt it like se7en or something like that),..if those are the actual brand,... then how come you just didnt get the bronze ones instead of powercoated them???,...and about the tails,..you can always get 99-00 coupe tailights,..they look the best IMO for coupes especially since you have a red car and they are pretty easy to find nowadays (unlike 99-00 hatchback taillights)
