Best Color to Powdercoat OEM 16/17s

[tof]

I have a set of OEM 16/17 7-spoke rims that I am getting powdercoated. Not for me but for sale. Curious what color you think would look best on a black, red, or silver (most common) NSX. If none of the above, post your preference.

As close to oem (silver) as possible IMO ..they go with just about every color, look good and will sale the fastest.

Light Gunmetal. You can also sell them as is and let new owner decide.

Sell them as is. If you powder coat them a particular color, you might not get your investment back, and you'd be limiting your prospective buyer pool because of the color you choose. Let the buyer powder coat them and sell them at a reasonable price.

The problem with selling them as-is: They need work. Two are nice and primed (NOT good for powdercoating), one needs some paint stripped from the chrome and the fourth could use minor repair on light curbing and small nicks.

Decided to have them stripped and powder coated a medium gunmetal. They turned out very nice. And as it turned out the old finish was not chrome. It was some kind of silver nitride paint. So media blasting the rims was not such a chore for the wheel shop as they had anticipated.
