Dymags: which color - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

LGAFF · 02-09-2008

Once the plenum is done I am going to clean up my dymags which includes a refinish:

Not sure if I should keep them as purchased:

or refinish to the original silver:

Opinions?

I like the darker color.

The darker color will make them stand apart a little more from the typical A Molds and make your car a little more unique. What color is your car? It's not the one in the avatar, is it?

Car in the avatar is not mine, but I have the same color. Rims are not A-Molds.......Dymag Gen IIs

Have you thought about white... I think that would look sick and accent the white on the rest of the car. Unless white is not good for racing wheels... I wouldn't know.

There was a long discussion I believe over at Corvette Action Center regarding finishing DyMags. What I got out of the conversation was that it's quite a detailed job to get them done. There is a shop in New England that specializes in wheel repair and folks from all over the world send their (quite) pricey rims to them for restoration / correction. I'll see if I can dig up the threads if you're still interested in putting them back to the original which, in my opinion, looks much much better.

Here's some realtime darker wheel pics. Hope this helps in your decision. They were powdercoated by Jeffvette.
