Should I powdercoat my HRE's? Thinking about taking my HRE's apart and having the centers powdercoated black, and leave the polished lip. What do you think? These are some expensive-*** wheels, so I don't want to make them less valuable in the longrun. Leave them alone, black the lip too, satin black, or gloss black?
I love the way it looks now, but there use to be a black vette that rode around with black zr1 wheels with polished lips. Looked killer, and it was crazy fast. Here's some pics. Need to get a better pic of just the wheel.

I personnaly would leave them like they are. If you must do something I'd do a gloss black center and leave the lip polished.
Either way they are kick *** wheels.

you could paint the windows black and leave the rest alone.
with such an expensive wheel custom fit to your car, i'm surprised you didn't go bigger and/or wider. are they staggered?

-Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Still not sure if it would be worth it. What kind of money are these worth now. I know it was over $9000 shipped for the wheel/tire package. HRE's comparable with CCW's?
Thanks,
Bucky
