Powdering Coating OEM 5 Stars

FloridaDave said:

When I was at the dealership I noticed the '23 rims are now Charcoal Gray instead of black. Same as the picture above on the left, instead of black, it was gray. I liked the look. It was on the EX, not sure if its across all trim lines or just the EX's.

I believe the grays are only on EX's. GT-Line are same wheels but black.

Did you leave the silver finish on the exposed brushed aluminum bits from the stock look? I know originally there are radial lines on those bits to give it that matte look.

Wheels were chemical stripped so they still have factory finish. I'll post updates soon

I have a wolf gray GT-Line. Was thinking lighter is better myself. 🤔 thought hard about powder coating all black wheels but everyone has that..

Can't wait to see the new color!

I got the extra set of calipers from
okautopartsms.com

All there is left to do is install rims and calipers!
