I've had my wheels for a while now and I've been thinking of changing them a bit...... here are my options:

1.) powdercoat the lip black
2.) powdercoat or refinish the face to a "gunmetal" color.
3.) leave em' alone....

chime in with you opinion....

here's what they look like now:

Powder-coating to me always makes the wheel seem so...dirty, but thats just my opinion.
