Default Feedback Please...Powdercoating 18inch rims/15 spokes

Thanx for looking boyz.....Ya think these will look ricey? or cheap? Iam thinking of powdercoating spokes and lips.

Heres what my ride looks like now.....very simular but downgrading to 18's from 20's. Thanx again for your opinion....

Powdercoating rocks!! I personally don't like that style of rims, but that's just me. I Have powdercoated many of rims. If you have a good person doing it the rims are tough and last!!

Not sure if you like this idea, but you might PC your rims black, and then put like a chrome/silver nut back in.....

Here are mine going onto my v.....

I don't think it's gonna work on the lip, I don't think they can powdercoat over chrome, pretty sure they have to remove the chrome plating first which is pricey. Could be wrong though.

You could mask off the parts that you don't want powder-coated, and you wouldn't want to PC over chrome.
