to powdercoat or not?

I am trying to decide if I want to powdercoat my wheels. The first pic is the car now. It does have 5% tint all around now and tailights blacked, and side marker blacked. Brake hubs are now black with drilled and slotted rotors. Caliper brackets are black and calipers are still red. and yes I know the rear brakes are wrong in the photoshop. My sis did the photoshop since I have no idea how. so yeah here we go.

I voted no, I like the way it looks now. I have never been a huge fan of black rims.

I don't think black rims look that good. I think a lot of the time they just look tacky. I mean sometimes they look great, there was that sick blue vette thats been posted, had black rims with the blue deep dish. I think most of the time they just look bleh.

I like the way black rims look, but that is the problem, so many people have them. Thats why I went with a bronze metallic on my rims. They are only painted for now, but have held up great. After I finish the motor work and get it back on the road I will be getting the rims powder coated in a bronze color
