Powder cost the wheels. Also make cleaning stock 17's bearable

personally, i'm on the fence about powdercoating the stock wheels. i'm not sure if i like the style?? are there any wheels that just look absolutely amazing on these cars?

OEM 18's look nice.

So do VMR wheels.

It won't last as long, but you can also spray bomb them.

I painted my stock 18's over a year ago and it's still holding up fine. I used VHT Epoxy paint, although I'm about to have them PC'd gloss black. I personally love them.

Plastidip everything. :)

Costs about $7 for a can and you can peel it right off if you don't like the look.

Deck kid plastidipped also? I think the stealthy look is bad ass. Always makes ur wonder..what's he hiding under there? when you see something like that lol. I plan i'm blacking (semi-gloss) out my decklid, spoiler, and gas cap like that.

Hell I "accidentally" came up with a new free mod while washing my car so I can't hate on the plastidip. My wash mit got hung up on my front Pontiac emblem and pulled the center red triangle out. Once you get the greenish blue adhesive out it actually looks good, almost like a aftermarket billet.aluminum piece lol.

I don't know. Every time I see a black wheeled car going down the road it looks like someone stole the hubcaps. . . :)

I think the same, unless the rims have a nice polished lip.
