Well said. Reminds me of high school honda boys and their crxs.

Looks awesome, have you considered the Red lip like on the Axis Halos or Hiros. That would look great with your color X.

i don't mind spray painted wheels, as long as people don't try to imitate the T/A look

Those look better with paint then they do with powdercoat. The powdercoat seems to make some wheels look too fat.....like the coating went on too thick.

Powdercoating doesn't hurt any type of wheels. (Anymore)

Reason being is only if the powdercoater uses a specific kind of powder, low temp curing powder. I recently had my intake manifold and throttle body (Only the exterior, obviously), and I never took out the seals from the T/B. He used a low temp curing powdercoat that cures at only 180 degrees, but is just as durable. Shoot, the T/B used to get 200+ degrees with coolant circulating through it..

Basically, powdercoating, provided the coater uses the right powder will no longer hurt wheels anymore. (Even though I never believed it did before anyways, but that's just me..)
