Getting my wheels "plasti-dipped" today, what color?

[clubracer6]

If there is anyway of avoiding coating where the lug nuts attach, try to do so. Someone who was tracking their car (an M3 I think) had their wheels platic coats and the heat softened the plastic which allowed the lug nuts to loosen. Luckily the instructor felt something a miss and they pitted before the wheel really got loose. Extreme conditions that maybe you'll never experience, but just thought I would share...

on your original question, go with what you like best! I personally think Satin would look best...

Do you know Steve Landstra? He has a track setup gray Corvette Z06 in PA and he is a racing instructor. He likes to take it to NJ, VA, and sometimes other tracks in the mid U.S.

He told me the exact same story with the M3 and plastidipped rims last week. He is the one taking me to the track this weekend.

All the recommendations so far have been for matte, so I'll go that route. Glad to actually see it on a boxster before i do it, thanks.

I'll make sure I have him spray the lugs too. leaving the logo'd center caps with the silver/dark porsche emblem alone, hopefully that looks good.

I'll get a pic up tonight.

Yeah that makes sense, I am on the Road Racing section of the Corvette Forum daily, so that is probably where I read that.
