the powdercoat costs around 200$ USD for 4 rims, there are other places that would charge you up to 800$ USD as well!
Looks great with that color, did you lower it as well? If so what springs?

I would say go for the Eibach Sportlines, i havent been totally satisfied with the H&R's, the ride is very bumpy, and on top of all, theres a knocking noise issue that i cant get over with.. but!! the car looks amazing with such a perfect drop, and the handling is amazing..

^ i used it on my winter rims. came out good but, i would def recommend sanding the rims good though! use primer, then paint, one more layer if you want n then the clear coat. you cna do another coat of clear coat too. will be thicker and will protect the paint from chips and stuff.

i had one written somewhere, just cant remember where anymore. if i find it, i will post it up. i didn't even need to take the tires off the rims. i just used the good ol method of using playing cards to put around the diameter of the rim.
