CE28N Powder Coat what Colour ?

jaxss · 9th November 2004, 10:40 PM

Hi guys,

Need your opinions. What colour should I powder coat these ?
Also could you please suggest a good place for coating these and maybe a place you've tried before ? Anywhere in AKL will do. Procoat rings a bell ?

Below are just sample pictures pulled from all over

sexy wheels!!!! 8)

Evolva · 9th November 2004, 10:51 PM

bronze anyday on a black car!!!!!

jaxss · 9th November 2004, 11:01 PM

wow you guys are quick on replies

F1ERCE · 9th November 2004, 11:03 PM

Although it looks the biz, that anodized Rays factory bronze colour is incredibly hard to match. I'd say gunmetal with a polished lip for your black DC2 Jack!

Ali · 9th November 2004, 11:09 PM

Bronze with polished lip, would look very nice with black

Grin-T · 10th November 2004, 12:02 AM

Nothing wrong with black on black 8) Different mags I know. But similiar effect when the car is slammed on them.

jaxss · 10th November 2004, 12:33 AM

Thanks for the replies. Keep em coming.

GunMetal Frank ? Got example with polished lip ? Think I saw 1 on an S2k on Honda-Tech a few days back

I think Full Black is a little too ...hmm... dirty looking for me. Maybe not enough glass on this exmaple.

I got to mention, the Blue Calipers are very fitting for a car like that. Grin-T, Didn't you sell off the Mivec thing of yours ? what you got now ?

Although

certainly looks good. what colour is this ?

Someone suggested I just get it painted ? Better to have powder coated or sprayed ? I not too fused on looks. Just want to clean up current condition of rims.

Matty · 10th November 2004, 12:38 AM

Bronze mang, bronze. :thumbsup:

I think Grin-T bought a DC2R.

aj008 · 10th November 2004, 12:59 AM

Ask and you shall receive.

Another Integra with black mags. Can still kinda see it. Oooo... OEM Carbon fibre front lip.

What about gold? I am sure it'll be easier to match than bronze? Most of the powdercoated or repainted bronze looks way off.

What about red with polished lip? At least you can keep David R happy.

Sorry about the large pics.. 56K warning maybe?

jaxss · 10th November 2004, 01:33 AM

RED?!@#?!?@?!

hmm I don't I favour DavidR's flavour veryy muchie !! hehe

Gold is ok but was thinking bronze or dark smoke black would be the way to go. Most likely doing polised lip too. might as well get some bling while i'm doing it.

Damn you guys get some sleep !!!!!!

Yes. Was sold about a month ago already.

ops:

What have I got now?
Hmmm... Good question.. Does it still count as a DC2R if it doesn't have a full B18CR engine in it? That should be enough clue for you. Hehe.

David R · 10th November 2004, 05:41 AM

Nah I'm not sure how those wheels would look in red, so I'm gonna say a really dark gunmetal or maybe bronze. Black would also look good.

razaman · 10th November 2004, 08:34 AM

SEXY wheels!

Bronze or gold!

MMMM 8) got K20A? or H22A?

But anyway the bronze looks pretty damn good, and that NSX and black ITR with C/F bonnet are sooo nice.

tianporn · 10th November 2004, 11:44 AM

I was gonna buy a civic with these wheels. It was gold with polished lip. I reckon you should do gunmetal with polished lip :thumbsup:

If you can get them colour matched properly to the ones above then :thumbsup: otherwise I say gunmetal.

jaxss · 10th November 2004, 05:08 PM

maybe the wheel is the island and the car body is supposed to be the ocean

Tofu · 10th November 2004, 05:34 PM

black or bronze

sifty · 10th November 2004, 07:27 PM

i think white wheels :wink:

jaxss · 10th November 2004, 07:33 PM

So far. I like the look of that deep dish feel but i guess these 15"s will never look like the mammoth soup bowls you see on M5's and so on and so on.

jaxss · 10th November 2004, 07:45 PM

I think these 15" rims still a little small but I can tell you that there is now a VERY noticable change in handling. Accel is much the same but I feel like i'l on rails around corners. no heavy feeling. which is nice.

Grin-T · 10th November 2004, 07:51 PM

15s are perfect for an Integra.
Lower it more if you have coilovers.

However I notice that those tyres are too small for the Integra.
Ideally you should have 195/55/R15 on them.

The ones you have now are 195/50/R15.

Get 205/50/R15 next time, they would be better.

And what offset are they mags? Around 42+ ? Looks good.
