Powdercoat my wheels black or keep em polished? I want to change the cars appearance a lil bit and I think powdercoatin my tt2s black and leaving the center cap polished and the outer lip polished would look sweet, but I havent decided yet. What do yall think I should do, keep em how they are or powdercoat em?

Its all about what you like.. you saw my thread about my TT2s and I just had them mounted today. I'm glad I kept my caps polished because I wouldn't have liked them powder coated. IT would have been too dark for me.
I still need some time to get used to teh new look but I'm sure I'll love it after a few days. I'll post some pics tomorrow in my thread so you can check them out

Fikses woudl be the ****, but man they cost some serious coin too.
Joe, what about if the wheels where sanded,polished to perfection? would they still shine, or would the coating ruin that in some way?
