Powdercoat....Yes or No

This is the first time that I have posted pics on the site, so I hope this works. Lately, I have had the urge to have my wheels powdercoated black. Just wondering if anyone has had this done and if they have had any problems. Also, do you think it will look good, or should I just leave it the way that it is. Thanks for any input that you have.

Keep it the way it is. Black on black is so extremely common that it makes you having silver rims on your OB looks unique.

Keep them as-is. Full black wheels are ugly IMO unless you use them for track only.

Keep them as-is. I like my black rims, but the black hides the true shape of the rim. They look great, but I can understand that you get sick of a look. If it makes you happy, then do it, rims are not something that you have to decide what looks best on your own. Each person has different tastes, thats why theres a million different rims. I would also go with a drop.......
