Panasport rims

Anyone got a pix of panasports rims powdered coated in gun metal? I have been thinking about this for years but not sure how it will turn out. Please post a pix. Thanks

Thank you TG. I've seen that style too but im not really sold on panas with chromed lips, it look like a konig. On-line search for a 1st gen with gunmetal gray panasport has failed.

What i have in mind is to powercoat it all since gray/black will go with any color, particulary on my white SA or my other RX-3. Old pix of my old FB and my other RX-3. Thanks

Well thats how Panasport does the anthracite grey for their wheels. Konig is a knock off of Panasport and Panasport is a knock off of minilites, the original 8 spoke lightweight wheel for LBCs.

Guess you will have to do your own then. Cheaper to get Konigs and used at that.

I do prefer the dark center with the polished lip... That "all-black"" or dark look just makes things too dark... It's all a matter of personal preference though.

I hear you but i had one, 16" SSR so i want something different; see attached. On top of that, i currently have several 3 sets of epsilons (polished face, black face and white face), not to mention a deep dish rikens and gold face hayashi. I just want to see how it will look before i regret it.

You wheel *****! Nice collection you have, that's for sure. Are the Epsilon's all Southern Ways I assume? I have yet to find someone else with Center Locks. I found a great deal in my area with a guy parting out 3 Epsilon wheels, going to get some super deep lips for stupidly wide wheels now
