Pros - you already own expensive wheels, powder coating lets you change the color and make them a little more unique.

Cons - they are probably not the size/style you would choose if you could pick any wheel for your car. Will changing their color really make you happy? For how long?

I have considered powder coating my MR BBS wheels bronze, but at the end of the day they would still not fill my wheel wells the way I want.

just make sure they are low temp powdercoated so you dont damage the wheels. high temp will cause the metals in the wheel to change and cause the wheel to break...
