Powdercoating my Si's... What color? *POLL*
Well they are going to the powdercoaters tomorrow and I'm thinking of colors. I think I have an idea which I'm going with but thought I'd hear what other people said. They're going on my EBP EM1. Thanks
Edited: Decided to go fully polished. Wheels get picked up tomorrow (4/3). Thanks for the input. I will post pics once I get them back. See sample pic of his work on pg 2. BTW don't tell me I should've did the DIY thing I'm not up for that and it's not going to come out as nice as this guy does it, trust me.

Let me also say that the finish isn't very good on them. They went through 2 New Engand winters (read salt
). If they were mint I wouldn't bother.

$50.00/wheel (as long as I pay cash). That includes sandblasting and whatever color I want. I had my other wheels done by the same guy.

Funny you say that b/c the first thing he mentioned was a "Chrome" color he just get? I thought to myself "Would that look tacky?" LOL I didn't put it up b/c I thought a flame war would erupt.

LOL..I'm not sure if you're serious about the '02 part, but it's all good. I just want to have some 15's and if you can tell me where I can get some nice 15's w/ tires (Azenis), mounted, balanced, valve stems, etc. for $600.00 I'm open for suggestions. That's what I would be spending for the powdercoating, tires, etc. I have alot on the agenda for this car and that's my wheel/tire budget.
