I just picked up one of my sets of OEM 19"s that got back from powdercoating. I've only snapped pics of one wheel for now. I'll take a few pics next to the original OEM's on the car this weekend in the daylight.
I bought the wheels used and they had a little bit of curb rash. I carefully sanded it smooth. I am very happy with the PC results. I didn't want to stray too far from the original color with this set. I'll pc my other set a darker graphite color (gunmetal is the more common generic term). I still need to spray a coat or two of clear coat on this set before I mount them though.

Here's some pictures next to the factory color,
I plan on getting them put on sometime next week.

Looks like the powdercoat is much more matte than the oem finish. How do you like it? Looks great in the pics.
the more I look at them the more I like them! I should get them on the car sometime this week.
Yes, they were done at Tulsa Powdercoating. I'm taking the next set to Broken Arrow Powdercoating. They have a much better color selection. I'm also going to have them put a clear coat on it when they are done.
I need to get the curb rash out of the second set first. It's not tough, I use a 90 degre Dotco with a fine/ultra fine pad and sand it smooth. The powdercoater sand blasts the wheels for you.
