2015 xkr convertible takoba wheels.
Got a new 2015 xkr convertible. Have to start the upgrade process and have started with the Eurocharged ecm flash and pulley and want to powdercoat the wheels. The color is ultimate black. It has a light gray and dark grey metallic.powder vinyl sticker that's say xkr on it and was thinking about powder coating the wheels the darker of the 2 colors. Please take a look at the color and let me know what you think. If you like another color better it will not hurt my feelings. Thanks in advance.

carmannn,
While I agree with the others on the XKR Sticker (it should go away), I had my 20" Kalimnos painted black when I first got my car. I hadn't planned on it, but having 3 Jags in my collection, i know how much brake dust they shed, and as on my 2002 XKR vert, I got used to cleaning them everyday! When I first got the 2010 XKR the wheels had some curb rash and after having them repaired, I decided at the last minute to change them to black, figuring that after a day of driving they would look matte black instead of the gloss black when they're clean. At least then I could clean them every other day. I've attached some pictures. I've also considered having them painted metallic gunmetal grey, you might consider that, as well.
By the way, how do you like the Eurocharged Tune and pulley, do you notice a lot of difference? Would you recommend?
What other mods are you planning?

not knocking anyone's choices, he asked for opinions...
To each his own... except in this case -
from the Dept of WTF
If this happens to be your car I truly hope you seek help
