    So, I have an '04 Sti with the Java Black Pearl paint (gold flaking). I am having the wheels powdercoated in one of Mike Russo's 12 or so types of black, probably just a matte to try to match the exterior plastics. He said that he also has stuff with metallic flakes. The wheels are Rotas, SDR I believe. Any opinions on what kinda black to go with? Thanks, yo! :cool:

    personally i wouldnt coat em they look good as they are but if its a small flake with a matte black that'd look pretty sweet

    any type of black will look good. her's mine with the same paint...JBP

    maybe matte black....personally I wouldn't do a flake unless he could match to the jbp

    Mine are gloss black
