Default Nice day out so i took some pics!!

havent took any decent shots of my ride since i first got her a month ago..

Just a few small exterior mods done... Next step is powdercoat those wheels to gloss black..

I would look into having the wheels professionally painted. Ive read a couple threads about people cracking wheels after having them powdercoated.

Personally I wouldn't paint the wheels black. You already have a dark color on the car. If you black out the wheels, it will dull the overall car and just make it too dark. Just my .02

isn't powdercoat is better than professional paint mainly because its a longer process and more expensive? I got quote for $300 per wheel and that including sand blast the clear coat, fix all the curb rashes and powdercoat.

you still need to bake anything being powdercoated. that potentially can weaken the rim and thus causing cracks.
