Ideas for Gunmetal Wheels in 18"

Dannyboy · 01-27-2014, 09:53 AM

I'm finally able to pick up some new rims and tires, but as luck would have it the ones I want are out of stock with no ETA of being back in. They do have them in hyper Silver, but was really dead set on Gunmetal.

I was looking for some VMR 701 in Gunmetal 18" 33/35 8.5 and 9.5.

Can anyone recommend some comparable rims in that size,color style and price range?

My other option is to powder coat the Hyper Silver ones. I'm not sure what to expecting from this. Maybe someone can throw up some pictures of powder coated 701's in what would be the closest to gunmetal And what the pros and cons to powder coating would be.

Thanks!

Here are some powder coat samples for you (Galaxy Black, Textured Matte Anthracite, Gloss Anthracite, and Sparkling Graphite). Powder coat is typically much more durable when compared to a factory painted finish

If you're looking at a comparable straight spoke design, take a look at our new V702s which are currently in-stock!
