Im not a big fan off powder coating my MKII mags in white (because of style), but I reakon something like the AU T3 T series mags in white would be sweeet!!!Bain the stealth idea is would be cool for something different. I also have a set of 2002 Mustang cobra wheels which would look mint in white on a black T. Im considering powder coating these white if they fit on?? havent tried fitting them yet.

Sounds like a cooking dish I know - but the enamel was good as nothing stuck on it properly. You just sprayed them with a hose - and they were clean, but man did the white show the brake dust if you didnt keep hosing them.The local Ford dealers had a Narooma blue XR8 that was a mock up of a Ford Credit V8 Tourer (kind of) and had white mags - looked ok - but not for me.

I have a blood orange t and I reckon if I could get them professionally coloured to black they would look great. I could be wrongI had a mate with a black wrx and he painted his original rims black and it looked good.I have also thought about it... I have a mandarin and I recogn black powdercoating would look sweet on on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 20/09/05 09:32 AM Share Posted 20/09/05 09:32 AM I think the rims are too small to do something dramatic like a colour change.. just my 2c anyway.
