I need to snap a new pic but, since this was taken I have painted the calipers red, tinted the tails, and painted the side emblems and rear emblem black. I dont have the $$$ for new custom wheels right now so I'm trying to decide if I should leave the wheels polished or have them powder coated. What do you guys think. If anyone has any pics of this setup that would be great

Also, if anyone could photoshop them black for me that would be sick too.

I wouldn't powdercoat the rims. The grain structure changes during the baking process and makes the metal more brittle. If anything I would just paint them.

How about you just wait and save more money.

Don't waist money with powdercoating them if your just going to get rid of them soon.
