hes talking about powdercoating his factory 17's

i say you save your money and buy 19's or 18's at least....the 17's, although they are nice, arnt big enough or cool enough to be powdercoated...but if you do...go gunmetal....chrome 17's look HORRIBLE..ive seen them

Gunmetal is you're best choice. Chrome and silver look terrible on SS.

hmmm...i have chrome (polished) wheels on my ss and i think it looks better than the cliche gunmetal. i have also had pretty good reviews from others. if someone would inform me on how to post pics, i will put up a pic so people can voice their opinions.

How much is it to chrome factory wheels? I'd sell the stockers and go for Nismos way before I'd spend money blinging out the stock wheels...

Here is a picture of my SS with silver wheels. I had a difficult time deciding between chrome and silver. Gunmetal never entered my mind.
