Wheel Shops

[The Demon]

Now that I’m going to get the H pipe taken care of I want to turn my sights onto some wheels. I’ve talked before on here about getting the bronze on the eruption green. I can’t seem to find anybody who has a large selection that I can go look at. I don’t want to buy online without seeing them in person. Any direction will be very helpful.

Unfortunately wheel shops are becoming a thing of the past. Most of the online manufactures will have photos of their finishes on their sites. However, you could also ask what brand of powder coat they use and then get the color code for that brand. Then go to the PC manufacturer and request a sample of that code and see it in person. Prismatic powders has super cheap shipping rates and will send you samples.

The other option is to order your wheels uncoated and take them to your local PC shop and you can pick the exact color you want. You’ll pay more for this process but you’ll get exactly what you expect. This is what I did with my Signature wheels.

I hear you. There were several in California I could go to.

I am going to make my choices online and hope I can see them on any car when I search. Bronze is not as popular as black of course.

I love looking at offerings by a couple forum sponsors who have a broad variety of wheel styles and colors. Scanning their postings I find wheel-to-car color combinations I never would have considered. (I love their great pics so much that I incorporate their hi-res pics into my computer background slide show.)

Anyway, being in FL now, I'll bet you will have some great wheel option sources in "nearby" Orlando.

You know I never thought about Orlando since it is an hour away but that is a great call.

The Discount Tire near me will install if I bring something in that I buy online.

I am really liking the Velgen VF5 gloss bronze.

I like those a lot but they are 20's. I want to keep the sizes the same as my OEM. I am looking at the Velgen VF5's in gloss bronze.
