Default Pics of PCed WS6 wheels???

Does anybody have any pics of Powder Coated WS6 wheels...either style but speedlines would really be good (I have seen a few of the older style before.)

I am leaning toward PCing a set white for Cecilia's car but cant descide which style to do (we have an extra set of both) or if I want to do the lip or leave it polished. I am thinking do the whole wheel will make it look bigger...plus I dont know about white with a polished lip. So show us what you got so we can make up our minds!

I don't have pics, but I just wanted to say that if you're going to do white, do the whole wheel white. White with a polished lip sounds .. incomplete? I dunno, just think it would look weird.

Good luck though!

im in the process of stripping my wheels. the clearcoat was crap, and they are pitted pretty bad. so i stripped the clear, sand with 400, 1000, then 2000, then mothers powerball, and then a polishing wheel with jeweler's rouge...so my question here is clear powdercoat? is that possible? something to look into i guess. it'd be way stronger than wheel paint! those white wheels dont look too bad!
