Anyone here Painted/PowderCoated their wheels?
A SELOCer painted his IS factory rims flat black and then glossy black and it looks great. I was thinking of painting or getting painted my BBS wheels in gunmetal or a dark grey finish before I slap them on.
Any pros and cons to this? Has anyone done this procedure? Should I just pay to have someone do it?
Sigh......I'm so confused on the route I want to go with my GS, thus the very limited modding thus far.

Mike when you're up here talk to Dex about it. He's had at least two sets of wheels powdercoated for his M Coupe.
Here's one set

Someone with 2GS 5-spokers did it. Crap, who the heck was that. Lemme do some searching and get back to you.
Here it is. I thought it might have been Cliffud:

And, by the way, it looks like you've been considering this for a while, huh?

Have them powder coated, more than likely the paint will tear when the tires get mounted. Or a few months down the road, then you get to try to touch them up on the car, or get to pay to have them un-mounted again.

Anyway, hopefully the other thread helped.

There is the alternative of prepping the wheels first, and then having the tires mounted. After this is done, you can mask off the tire and finish coat the wheels. No need to worry about paint chipping off when the tires get put on. The finish will turn out the same.
