Just wondering if anyone has powdercoated their stock wheels? I'm wanting to get them p/c'ed black to change the look up a little bit. I can't afford new wheels right since i just bought an ls6 intake and a bigger stall is next on the list, but i can get the powdercoating done for a pretty good price.
If anyone has their's done post up some pictures.

IMO I would leave the lip polished
If you rebend the bracket under the car it'll move the bottom of the fender back in place

Gloss black powdercoated 16" stockers. Came like this when I bought the car. I REALLY wish they'd had the sense to do the center caps as well. I'll probably get some little vinyl disks to cover up the "ABS" center caps that look retarded. Eventually. When I get around to it. ...
