Powder cost the wheels. Also make cleaning stock 17's bearable

It won't last as long, but you can also spray bomb them.

I painted my stock 18's over a year ago and it's still holding up fine. I used VHT Epoxy paint, although I'm about to have them PC'd gloss black. I personally love them.

Plastidip everything.

Costs about $7 for a can and you can peel it right off if you don't like the look.

Hell I "accidentally" came up with a new free mod while washing my car so I can't hate on the plastidip. My wash mit got hung up on my front Pontiac emblem and pulled the center red triangle out. Once you get the greenish blue adhesive out it actually looks good, almost like a aftermarket billet.aluminum piece lol.

I don't know. Every time I see a black wheeled car going down the road it looks like someone stole the hubcaps. . .

I think the same, unless the rims have a nice polished lip.
