Poll AME wheel color?
i have a set of AME circlar spec-r bbf. They are the all polished ones. I want to get them anodized either black or gold.
They are going on a black 94 FD with a FEED hood, bumper, and side skirts. what color should i anodize them?
or should i just keep them all polished?

Dude, keep them polished. That finish is so damn expensive you would basically be killing the value of that wheel. That BBF is like a Polished Platinum, so amazing. Had them on my RX8 and have installed them on countless customer vehicles.
I guess it all comes down to the color of your car but i think it's a damn shame to do that.
FYI, those wheels are powdercoated. To anodize them would require lots of work in terms of stripping, then polishing again, then anodizing.

I bought them for a real good deal. i bought them new for a used wheel price. the only problem was that AME just discontinued the gold and black wheels. i have a local shop that will cut the wheels apart and anodize them or powder coat them. what ever i want to do. I have always liked the look of gold wheels with a gold lip on a black car. this is how they look on a black car.

Depends what look you are going for. If your going for more of a show, clean look then keep them polished. If your going for more of a racer look paint them matte black. IMO i dont think they would look to good in gold. I think your just wasting money that could be used elsewhere, they look sweet polished.

I bought them from a local shop in tucson called Densetsu. They bought them from a guy on the forums that had a new set of fronts. they got damaged at a car wash. BTW if you are looking for a set they took about 3-4 months to come in and were not very cheap. but they r a great set of rims.
