The p-coater is making me a few sample colors today. He has a 'wheel silver' that he said I may like, but I think I want to go a tad darker.

Well, it is official....I am going with 'Wheel Silver'. It is really a mystery color to me because all I saw was the bag of powder. We shall see !!!

I really dig those wheels man. Nice fat lip. A nice brake kit behind those would really set them off!
