Default powdercoating premium ws6 wheels

Has anyone seen or done this? Wondering what it would look like have the center section powdercoated and leaving the polished lip, I am thinking about widening the rears, I love these wheels!

I haven't seen any well done powder coated ws6 wheels, but I know someone on here widened their set to fit 315s. I'll see if I can find the thread.

If you did that it would look just like a CETA wheel. If you do a search there are a few people that have done it.

I've had mine powdercoated. It's more durable than having them painted, and a higher quality imo, but the only thing is you're kind of limited on colors. I did my current car in a gold metallic, and my last one in white. You just need to be careful what you use to clean them with, nothing abrasive.
