Since all the repro 15 X 7 wheels are the WRONG color (which I cannot figure out at all why, when there is a plethora of silver powder shades and sheens available) is there anyone who has had a set powdered in the RIGHT color? I am looking for a brand/code of powder that would be the correct sheen, color, txture, etc. Speaking of which, what would the correct sheen, color and texture be, exactly. Thanks, all help is appreciated! Press hard, four copies.

I had several samples done and matched it to several original rims. I found that Bengal silver was the match I was looking for. I powder coated 2 sets of 15 x 7 rims and was very happy with the end results. I'll post the brand later. logan426

That color of powdercoat is a cross between the correct Mopar and the *hevy color for the ralley wheels. Cost is the factor. Most of the bigger wheel makers send out their wheels to be powdercoated , they have to have a certain number of parts to do the job , the more parts the cheaper the price per item.

I did some of my own research...it's a Tiger Drylac color, here's a link: http://www.trussworks.com/Color_options.html It looks like a dead-on match for the correct color. Any reputable powder coater should be able to get it, Tiger Drylac is a huge supplier/manufacturer of powders to the industry. Press hard, four copies.

Several months ago I spoke with the wheel manufacturers about getting the correct color for the mopar wheels. They're response, they didn't care about the color and didn't care if they got it right. logan426 Martin Last edited by Logan426; 07/10/08 09:15 AM.
