Need your help (please vote)!!!
I'm trying to give my OEM 19's on my Black '05 6MT a custom look.
Trying to decide between: 1) getting the entire rim powdercoated in metallic gunmetal or 2) getting the rim powdercoated in metallic gunmetal and having the lip polished.
I've included pictures of both setups. The first 3 pics are with the polished lip and the last 2 pics are the entire rim in metallic gunmetal. Please vote and feel free to throw out any ideas, opinions, etc. BTW, I really do not have enough money to purchase NEW aftermarket wheels, so it really comes down to these two options.
Thanks guys

FYI any powder coating requires you to remove the tires from the rim, hence leaving your car laid up for a few days thats if you don't have spares.. I think I would go with the complete rim gunmetal. The only thing is if you go too dark with the color the tire and the rim kind of blend together.
Have you considered any other colors like gold or the time attack color(black rim with red lip)
I'm getting mine painted bronze next week because of the paint chipping. I also don't have $$ to spend on rims.

I have the exact same rims. How much is it going to cost you to get the rims powdercoated?

Well according to another member on here, it will be around $250 to $300 for the powder coating. But I haven't called around yet to get quotes. Just trying to finalize my decision on what I want to do.
