Powdercoating wheels. What Color??? Check out the pics!!!

I am going to be having my stock wheels powdercoated for now. I plan on buying new rims, but I got an offer from a local place who does powdercoating/plating to do them for me as a "advertising sponsorship". So i think Im gonna capitalize on their proposition. Check out the pics on my page and lemme know what ones you like the most. Thanks!!!

depending on paint they use and whether or not they bake em after makes a big diff on durability. Bronze or gunmetal. Black is too Mad Max.

Powdercoating reduces the strength of you wheels you don't want to do it Ive seen pics of wheels that were powdercoated then driven hard on the wheel just cracked into peices I can only immagine what that would do to you and your car taking a hard corner at 90+ and have your wheel fall apart.
