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.
thanks for the info. i will definitely know when i'm ready to powder coast. the hardest part will be finding some loaner wheels while my current wheels are being powder coated. i just need to find a color that'll work well with SGM. i want contrast, current wheels are black.

Very familiar look:

Painted black with clear powdercoat. Looks awesome clean, but doesn't stay clean long. Also, hides brake dust well if you don't expect the wheels to be glossy.

In the mean time you can go to prismatic.com and start perusing the pictures and color charts. If you need loaners just as rollers I have them, but not something you would want to daily with. Where in So Cal are you?

All these freshly coated '12+ wheels look sweet.. I also think they're the best looking OEM wheels for the IS-F. The only reason I'd consider replacing them would be to shave off some weight..Even then, I'd look for something with a very similar design.

^^^^Wheels are such a personal thing! But, IMHO, the best looking wheel (stock or otherwise) on an ISF (especially MM) is the Standard wheel from the RCF. That's why I got 'em

Love the fitment (offset and width) of the RCF standard wheel - not a fan of the design tho. But it is all about personal preference!

Do they rub at all?
