Default should I?

I have a Spa Yellow and I am thinking about powdercoating the wheels to a gunmetal color. A couple of reasons I want to do it: 1. It will be different 2. Brake dust is drivnig me crazy on the silver 3. I think it might look better.

Should I do it? another color? leave them as they are?

Powder coating requires heating the wheels. Contact the manufacturer to see if their product will handle the stress first.

BTW - Gunmetal looks great on Spa Yellow. PM Ferdian for details.

and they are the stock wheels and a bunch of people have already had them powdercoated so it shouldn't be a problem

You know what I voted for. Added Apex WS S2000 exhaust today on my list of mods.
Mainly for the more agressive sweet sound of Vtec exhaust note. I am sure that there were more HP gain but do not care if it was only 1 or 2 HP gain.
