Help with wheel choices!
Hello,
I have a Victory Red Z06 and was going to have the stock wheels powder coated. I want black with a small red pinstripe, but I want a more dull not quite matte black. Any pictures or photo shopping of this on 2006 z06 wheels would be much appreciated. I have seen lots of gloss ones, but not quite what I'm looking for, more of a European look. Just like the pic below, anyone know what exactly I should ask for? Thanks!

Mine is not a Z or a wide body but here you will get an idea of what your car would look like with comp greys. I almost went with the red strip and couldnt be happier that I didnt; it would of been too much IMHO.
Good luck

I'd start asking wheel powder coaters by showing them a large pic of that wheel you like. They may have to do a couple of tests on some bare metal squares for you to approve. Then either they or someone else would have to paint on the stripe (or use decal stripe).
