what should i do with the stock wheels?!?!? I was thinking about painting my stock snowflake z28 alloys black. Now i would either sand it down prep it spray it with some black and clear, or take them to get powder coated black.
Would painting them still look good if i did it right or is it worth it to powdercoat them?
Kepp in mind im on a budget
here are some pictures i did in photoshop to give some ideas:
And something for fun. . . the look im going for
. . . and on a side note anyone know where to get some smoked corner lights that look similar to this picture?

I'll say powdercoat them. You're going to wish you did the first time the paint chips. Keep in mind, PCing will be more costly/labor intensive as you'll have to take the tires/valves off to spray and bake 'em.

Isn't it about $70 bucks to get a wheel powder coated?
For the money, I'd just get some decent wheel paint and make them presentable until you can come up with the green to get what you really want.

I for sure wouldnt spend money to powder coat those... not worth the money. Im also thinking about painting a set of ws6 wheels I have in the garage.. just havent started doing it yet.
