As for the nagative camber, I love it. I personally think the look of a little negative camber is the way to go.

Here is my opinion. Powder, it its done right is the way to go. Powder coated will be more durable compared to painted. The only harder thing with powder, is making sure that the finish comes out perfectly smooth. If there is any dust, or the wheel is not really clean, it may show up once the powder cures. With paint, its easier to get curb damage, or paint blemishes touched up or fixed.
it's been discussed a few times on the forum as well, all with the same similar points made....
