Default deciding to get my prostars powdercoated
well i love my prostars but ive decided to get them powdercoated cause I want something a little different then the average polished ones. now im either gonna do them all black or just the spokes. so what do you guys think?

This is what I've been wanting to do to the 94 to change it up a bit. I say leave the centercaps polished also. It will look awesome!

I like the centercaps black. The polished center makes it look like a knock off.

Id leave the centercaps polished. . . .They break the wheel up a little bit and give some contrast.

If it was me, I'd do the wheels completely flat black.

Ive seen powder coated Pro Stars before and they look horrible, but if you must do it, do just the centers, and leave the centercaps polished too.
