Nice! Have you thought about a drop and maybe adding wheel spacers? Overall, it turned out well!

Agreed....a spacer for the back and a drop and it will look even better!

I almost did mine bronze, but went gunmetal only because it looked better on silverstone. The bronze looks sick on PPW though. Very nice

I had them powdercoated, I did it almost 2 years ago and they still look brand new.

Looks really good....I just need to figure out about the center caps....my caps have black chrome nissan emblems on them...so I dont want to just paint over the whole cap....decisions decisions...haha The funny thing is that I probably wont use the wheels that much either..since my Volks are my daily used wheels

They're not on in that pic, but I had my center caps painted to match exactly. Carefully removed the Nissan logo to paint and then glued em back in place. Still holding strong.

You can see them in this pic

Just powdercoated. As far as I know anyway. I've had a couple sets of wheels powdercoated and the guy i used never mentioned using an additional clear...then again I've never asked.

Yeah, typically a good powdercoating doesnt really require a clear, not to say that it doesnt hurt..but its not a must compared to say painting...
