M3 gts wheels

OM VT3 · 09-20-2010, 04:44 AM

I just wanted to know how the m3 gts wheals are painted Matt black? And the paints just plain black yes?

Yes i believe they are just a plain black, not Matte black.

they cant just have paint on the wheal it will have to have some matte clear on them or the paint will come off

Pretty sure they might just be powdercoated black... I think EAS offers powdercoated ZCP wheels that look almost identical to the GTS wheels, but I could be wrong.

We certainly can, that's not a problem. What we're thinking of doing is getting those ZCP wheels, and powdercoating them Vader Black (our powdercoating color), which looks like this:

PM me if anybody is interested... I might have a few guys jumping on board to do this as well!

Where do you get that idea? Paint doesn't need clear to stick.

After having my wheels off several times, I don't believe they are powdercoated. From the way the black is applied, it looks to me more like a paint.

OEM GTS is painted. We offer powdercoated finish which offers the same appearance and much more durable.

A substantiation of my thoughts, thanks.

I'd love to see some powdercoated ones in person. So far I have yet to see a powdercoated one that has the same appearance as the OEM finish.
