Buying aftermarket wheels is out of the question at the moment, possible but focusing on power for now. I was thinking about powdercoating my wheels black and adding spacers to give it a more aggressive look. Glossy black or flat black? Its an 06' Enthusiast. What do you think?
Also, how much should I expect to spend on powdercoating my wheels?
not a good pic but its the only one I have at this computer.

I am doing the same thing but the problem I have found is that the highly rated KIC'S spacer that cost the most between the Eibach and others are about the worst you can get.....
I ran a straight edge across the things and there then put it on a lathe and checked the runout and it was terrible causing a huge vibration from 70+ and that was even after balancing the wheels separately and then rebalancing the wheels with the spacers attached.
If your going to use spacers please use the Eibachs and use the ones where you have to replace the studs with longer onces because those are hub centric not lug centric like the KIC's are.
