New Wheels

My Ace Alloys were still looking new until my wife so called cleaned them and I really believe she sprayed the fronts down with a bathroom cleaner instead of the wheel cleaner....So I'm interested in either having My Axis Ace repainted and cleared or switching to a sportier but heavier wheel...

i like the bronze, i dont thunk they would suit your color though, but thats my opinion.. i actually prefer the style you have on there in the pic. why wouldnt you just take them to a rim shop and get them powdercoated?? then u could pick what color you want, and they would look brand new at half the cost.. i think a flat black would look good on that style and suit the color of your car with the tinted windows.

thats my opinion though..

Yeah that's what I'm tore between is having them refinished (power coated) but I like the GunMetal color and the wheel looks kinda GTRish plus easier to wash, plus sportier, the Ace alloy I have on there now are Classy and light (18 lbs ea) and BMWish....

the gunmetal ones suit your colour better. Those style wheels were always my fav.

there nice and totally would be easier to clean, im just a huge fan of multiple spoke rims on our cars and think they are the best looking IMO..

Either way, the gunmetal one or refinishing would suit it best.

I love the BBS split forked/mesh design like what I have but those MB look sportier but weigh about 4 lbs heavier per wheel as well..... I'll see what the cost is to powdercoat and compare the difference......The MB are $155 ea and possibly a little more expensive than the powdercoat route....

I love bronze, I think I might go that route on my next rims. That said, unfortuantely your car colour is not suited for it, you need yourself some gunmetal

Refinish the ones you have. I actually like the design, and always go for a lighter wheel. So many advantages to that.

yeah that's one of the options and major reasons I like these wheels so much:
1.The design
2. light weight @ 18 lbs
3. Durability
