I remember seeing a pic of them snowflaked and looked actually pretty good on the sedan, however didnt see on the htach.
Also depends on the car color in my opinion.
All in all, I think it looks really good.

In the link from above, checkout Quy's Coating in Brampton, really good quality.

I really like the gun metal colour. I remember when the rsx type s came out with the gun metal factory rims. Looked sick!

gunmetal is awesome.

Do it!

[SilentJay]

Do it and let me know how it looks before I take the dive on some Racing Hart rims...

I painted the stock 5 spoke rims for my 04 Sport. I used the Duplicolor Wheel paint - graphite colour from Canadian Tire. They are still sitting the in basement waiting for winter to end. Maybe I should finally take a pic of them?

Would love to see how the snowflakes look powdercoated in a gunmetal colour. Anyone come across any pics?

[Notorious MS3]

You should do it, I think the snowflakes would look even better in gunmetal.

I've seen PC stock rims before, but not snowflakes

[monty0501]

Shoot, I wish I could find the pic :S

[monty0501]

Ok I found the post, however looks like the OP took off the pics, but this is where I saw them:

Maybe you can PM the OP and ask?

[mEtH]

yah, his links are broken. If you want to see those pics again I would PM him.
Dont forget to repost if he sends them to you! :chuckle

[sunnyhomeboy]

aw man the pics are dead...

[davidpetrozza]

I think the powdercoated snowflake rim would look good on either the sedan or the Hatch with a dark paint colour. If anyone finds a picture of the snowflakes in gun metal, I would deffinitely like to see those. I wouldn't mind doing it on my car aswell.

thanks for the link.

Gunmetal looked pretty good.

Hey guys,

before I go ahead and powder coat my rims I have a question. If my car is leased, can I powdercoat these rims, or do I have to return the car the way it was picked up from the dealership?

For ease of look I've posted pic from link here:

What other colours have people powder coated Snow Flakes to? I' do like the gun-metal colour though. Just wanted to see what other pics people may have.

[SonicBoy]

Find someone with some photoshop skills and see what they can do.

Just an FYI. Be careful with the powerder coat around the hub. Powerder coat is just think enough to cause some grief with the centre caps. They'll still fit however you have to really push them in there.

[leungly]

Hmmm Just to follow up, Does anyone have a picture or know of a pic where someone has Powder coated snowflakes, flat black?

Thanks.
