Re: powder coating

I have always been a big fan of body colored wheels.....

I say go for it...

When it comes time to do the job, I think I will spray my car yellow with the same color on the stock wheels....

Re: powder coating

Not sure how you're planning on doing this, but as long as you leave a silver lip, I think it'll look good.

Re: powder coating

A reply to myself: I guess you wouldn't be able to leave a silver lip since the stock rim isn't a three piece wheel. So, IMO, I don't think it'll look good just another Volk TE-37 style knock-off, leave it stock or save the money to buy new rims.
