Default Powdercoated my wheels...

Went with a dark gray. I can't stand a silver car with painted silver wheels, had to darken them up a bit.

Well done! The wheels look so much darker on the car picture..could be the lighting. Let us know what you think of the grill. I need to get an order in.

You should have painted the car and left the wheels silver. LOL.

My silver wheels don't hide the dirt very well and that's on ceramic pads.

Right, silver cars hide dirt, dark wheels hide brake dust. I'm perfect.
