Black is super hard to get good pics of on my iPotato. I'll get better pics once they're on, the color looks great.

I have a set at the powder coater right now, getting done in Prismatic Crystal Grey, part number PMB-5913. I have done several sets of wheels in this color on white cars (although not an IS-F), and everyone seems to love the contrast.

I will post pics when I pick them up.

Those look great. I am a fan of gloss, or a custom color with clear. The brake dust literally falls off.

Julio your car looks great with that silver/grey color. I am not really a fan of those wheels in the stock color, but they turned out awesome in that color.

Thanks! I figured that, they cleaned very easily when I got them home, just figure I'll be doing a lot of cleaning even if it is easy work.

I'm actually pretty stoked to get them on this week, can't wait to see how they look. I'll certainly post pics for you

Thanks. PC is a pretty inexpensive way to change the look of the car.

Posted this in the other thread but some people asked here. I'll get better pics soon. There's brake dust and pollen on them here, they look sooooo good clean.

I have two, one in Downey and one in Riverside. Both do extremely clean, conscientious work. I almost always pick a color from Prismatic, and cover it in Tiger clear if I am after a gloss finish (which I usually do), as the Tiger clear seems to have the greatest durability.

Prismatic has over 6500 different colors so finding one that is suitable for a project is never a problem. Some colors are obviously not stocked by the coaters, but Prismatic will send you swatches of colors you see online so you can view them in person prior to ordering.

PM me if you are interested in some contact info. Neither of these companies will disappoint.
