powder
Picked up my wheels from the powder coat shop today. They look sick, I can't wait to mount them up.

Nice! Post up a pic or two once you’ve got them installed.

Which BBS wheel is it? CHR?

I know it’s a personal preference and totally up to me but I’m curious what you guys think. I pretty much have everything blacked out but my trim and gas cap cover. I planed on powercoating the gas cap cover gloss black, but I was thinking maybe it would look nice if I powder coated it the same bronze as my wheels. What do you guys think?

just avoiding it LOL. I wouldn't tie the wheels into the fuel cap. Maybe some stripes or other larger piece but I think a fuel cap would be odd by itself. Other than that it's your car so enjoy.

I did a little more powder coating. I'm thinking of keeping these two pieces the way they are and hydro dip the DDMworks air box along with the DDMworks intercooler diverter with this graphics. If I do the orange will show threw instead of white like the photo.

fitted the diverter today. I think I'm going to skip the hydro, the powder is too nice.

Love the wheels. I also think the coated gas cap would look great with your exterior paint color. Saw a customized older Jeep a while back with almost the same color combo (green/bronze) and it looked fantastic.
