powdercoating 2006 stock 18s?
Hey i searched but found only the stock rims before 06'. I have a silverstone Z with the stock 06' wheels and i was thinking about powdercoating the wheels gunmetal? Ever heard of anyone doing this? Anybody with pics? I dont think that it would weaken the wheels if done right so im not too worried bout that.
just in case, these are the wheels im talking about
:
but in gunmetal

Members paint OEM wheels sure. And there are photos here. If you want a different color - do it.

There have been some cases with powdering/chroming the OEM base wheels and rims cracking.
