Wheel Color for Ti Ag Coupe

cbecker33 · 09-12-2019, 09:28 AM

As it currently sits I'm not wild about the silver wheel/silver car combo. I want to keep the EC-7s so I'm looking at having them powder coated. Any thoughts?

How about ginning up some comparison photos?

No skills.

These are Hyper Black just to present another option.

HyperSilver is the name of the OEM finish, yes?

Yup, used by a few different companies.

I like the silver wheels

I normally do not like wheels painted black. Too hard to see the spoke design.

I don't care for flat black (or even the duller side of satin). My last car had the perfect sheen for black.

I'm not a big fan of dark wheels but on light color cars they work, not so much on dark cars as everything just blends and all you see is nothing. You need contrast and it also depends on the style of wheel IMO.

Check out dubsesd old coupe. Notoriously the best Tiag looking Coupe out there.

This looks pretty perfect - I'm assuming this is the MStache 2 and AGT side skirts?

Aero skirts

just a quick detour

I am considering moving to a bullitt
did you find your gt350's size to be an issue compared to the mcoupe?

baege · 09-22-2019, 06:07 AM

i voted other for gun metal, I find gun metal looks great on silver, nice contrast but you still can see the design of the wheel

I sold the GT350 to buy the Mcoupe. The mustang had an amazing motor, suspension and brakes. But, it needed two things:

Shrink by 20%
Remove the back seats
