Need some advice on rims/powdercoating

Ok I just got these rims for my car, they were pretty cheap so I just went with it for now. ( had the stock 18's) My plan is to powercoat them the DG color and leave the lip chrome. ( I really hate the silver color, I hate chrome to but it's really easy to manage compared to polished. I work alot so I maybe wash my car like once a month.)

Also can somebody give me some pointers on the powdercoating. I am just pretty much going to tell them paint the inside the same color as the car and what is the range in cost. I am expecting about 3 to 4 hundred.

Thanks

i dont know about powercoating but they usually charge about 80-90 bucks for painting wheels around here. I know they wont be as durable as powdercoating would tho.

They are not multi piece. I am guess they will just put tape around the lip and spray the rest.

no these rims are pretty cheap. like 1200 rims and tires. They don't even have a name or brand as far as I know. I just got them because I wanted get off stock 18's and I can paint them the same color as the car. I will sell them within a few months if I can find a buyer (after they are painted I will probably eliminate alot of buyers).

With my drop and the rim offset it came out nice, just not to crazy about the rim design.
