Think its silvery black, Seen a few cars with wheels that colour.
Theres a guy on here with a silver blob and hyper black wheels look really good.
Really shiny so you can see all the detail of the wheel.
If that makes sence lol

mags is in Norway and powder coating isn't a good idea on alloy wheels as the extreme heat can crack them

like i said lol, speak to your powdercoater first, they shouldn't be cooking wheels above 150 degrees as there is no point.

I must disagree with that

We run powder coated Rota on track or on drag strip without the issue

Powder coating can crack the wheels,but this depends on the wheels itself,usually OEM powder coated wheels(seen probably two sets of the STI wheels cracked) will/can crack after being powder coated

Our wheels has been powder coated Mags as he powder coated our all wheels,which we have on our previous cars
