Stock 2013 si wheels in bronze/gold

[docFiend138]

I'm on a budget right now and I would rather large sums of money be going to performance upgrades but my car is looking much to stock. I was wondering if anyone had seen or has the stock 13 si wheels in Bronze or gold.

You thinking of just trying it out with plastidip?

That's the plan. Doing it cheap first and possibly committing to something more permanent later. Or just waiting until late a new set of wheels is in the budget

@bootyluvr did his wrx with plastidip & you'd never tell they weren't painted/powder coated wheels from his pics.

I have seen some quality plastidip jobs. So I know that it can look good. I was more so curious if anyone had done stock 2013 so wheels in gold or bronze.

I can't think of anyone off hand. I think I've mostly just seen 9th gen wheels done in black.

That's most of what I have seen too. And a CBP car with black wheels is a little much for me. Maybe I'll just go for it and find out how it looks.

Now comes the question of how to do the center caps

i vote black center caps since your car is cbp

Plasti them separately in the same color and then buy a vinyl H sticker for the centers.

 

[webby]

you think the vinyl will stick on top of the plasti ok?

 

[Nix]

I don't know actually. Maybe.... if the plasti is smooth enough. I hadn't thought about it.
