Powder coated my 220M wheels mirror gloss black. Turned out spectacular. The reason 220M wheel looks so good in black is because it camouflages the wide fan at the end of the spoke that looks strange when machined. My thoughts anyway.

Might be a stretch but what suspension and tires sizes are you running? Man this looks awesome. I've got a space Grey with powder coated 220M's.

That third photo completely changed my mind on changing my wheels.

I've got some swift springs and MS 12/15 spacers waiting to be put on...

Here are my OE ZCP wheels re-finished in a charcoal blue (some Toyota body color)...quite complimentary with the Steel Grey.

Suspension is Bilstein B6 EDC, Eibach Springs, shortened mounts.

Tires are Pilot Sport/4S....235F/275R.

I never got back to your question last year about the specs. I'm running H&R sport springs, 12mm spacers front and 15mm rear (was supposed to be the other way around but the tire shop put them on this way and I liked it better than most suggestions).

Tire sizes in the rear are bumped up to 275/35. Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 rubber.

Thanks! I might throw the 15s in the back and get some 18s for the front.

Switched to 18/15. No rubbing on swift and 245/265.




Makes the car look much lower than it actually is.
