That's pretty cool, I like it.

Powder coated?

Removable paint? or what. Sound cool! I wanna try it!


EDIT:
Sigh, no, no, it appears I'm a dumbass. Powder coating looks to just be a really good way of painting rims. Or whatever

I thought it would be cool, if there was a finish you could put on your rims (or other metalic parts exposed to the weather, not nessarily on a car) that was extremly water resistant (and other cool jazz). It would prevent all corosion, sun fade, and all that jazz for the season, and would come off with soap in the summer when the cosmetic qualities of the peice need revealing. i should invent that

if you've never seen it in person, then you can't comment. I've seen both the elise chrome orange and NSX orange and the chrome orange is wayyy better.

as for who, well who would drive a crx in the snow.

I bet an Elise would do just fine in the snow with proper studded tires. Would not want to try it on those tires it showed though

yeah it should be as good as any FWD. 6x% of the weight is on the drive wheels.
