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.

wheels now

I like them powder coated black better, they still look good now. Maybe keep them how they are and spend the money on performance?
