The wheels look pretty good though. Change your valve gaps from those bunk nitro green ones

I think gold needs a lip to look good.
lot of people are saying the same thing, saying powdercoating oem rims , it gets cracked and this and that. i wanna powdercoat next year but now little bi scared.

powdercoating OEM rims is fine (my personal opinion) so dont be scared.

but i would say powdercoating is a waste of money. just get some aftermarket 19"s. save up for them =)

Not feeling it... hope your wheels can stand up to the powdercoating. Don't hit any bumps or potholes.

Looks okay. The powdercoating should actually hold up a lot better than paint.

Sorry bro but the rims and the emblems are just uglyyyyyy. Should of done rims blacks and emblems black.
ps: I don't think anyone here who has powder coated their rims had them crack or anything like that so it's safe.
