I would advise against getting wheels that aren't forged powder coated.

If you spray paint your rims you can expect the paint to start chipping off in like 2 months. Your oem wheels are powder coated. Most people can't powder coat it themselves because you have to heat up the rims. So I would advise anyone wanting to paint their rims to go to shop and pay like $400 to have it powder coated or else your gonna have to spray paint your rims every few months.

My rims were sandblasted then powder coated. If the shop you go to just sprays then bakes them it won't stick, they have to be sandblasted first to get polish from the factory off. Trust me on this, mine had to be done twice.
