I always thought about powder coating my BBS's a darker color like that as well. I don't really like the bright silver color to match my black car. That's a very nice color.

That does look nice, almost looks gun metal gray, but not too dark, should look great on a silver car (where going too dark of gray doesn't look quite nice).

They don't look too bad there, but that's in shadow so they could be bright elsewhere. Actually, I think if you just got the actual spokes darker, and left that outer lip the same color it would look kinda cool. Or maybe have that part done in a non shiny bronze/gold and then a darker silver/gray center.

This page has 3 different wheels with the silver lip and in this case black spokes (but I was thinking a darker silver instead of black).

Very nice. These should look killer on the S4.

I'm a fan of the dark silver on rims. I been eyein up a set of Camaro SS rims in Midnight Silver for the G8 but I really don't like the idea of less tire and more wheel weight. Still think they would look good though.

Oh very very nice, those looks great. I'd love to get my current alloys powder coated, just don't have the cash at the moment. They're pretty corroded from parking outside for the past 11 years, definitely in need of some TLC.

Those Gnosis' look amazing with the bronze lip. Wow.
