Default Yay or Nay..EM1 on VESTAS

I just picked up some wheels for my EM1. Well picked up again. This is my second time owning them. I had them on my phantom gray hatch when they were gunmetal/red. This is the only set of this wheel that I know of or have seen. I do not know much about them, but they stamped VESTA on the back I believe.

I do not plan on keeping the color combo.

Either:

1) all black (matte or gloss..dunno)
2) almighty grey(ish)
3) silver


Any Opinions ???


Bad Pics, but you get the idea






My old hatch with the wheels, back in 2006 !

Just been working. Kinda got out of the game for a minute. Now I am trying to get back in! I graduated last year, got married, got 2 dogs (my kids 4 now), and just bought a house.

What you been up to?

I actually think all silver would look good. I think all black would make them not stand out. unless thats what you're going for.

They need to be refinished. Lip is chipping bad.

What size and how much?

I just got off the phone with a local powder coater and he charges $200 to do the wheels. I am think about doing them all Almighty Grey if I can find the color (if not them something similar) or all silver.


Paint at local shop $160 (tires on)
Powder coat at local shop $200 (+ dismount and mount/balance tires)

My vote is more than likely powder coat. You?

16x7 +45 4x100 obviously.
ballpark 1400 no tires.

powdercoat seems to hold up longer and it'll sandblast all the previous color off.
