I guess it would depend on your cost for powdercoating. If it was $150/ wheel...I'd say no. It's too close to what you have to justify the cost. If it's dirt cheap for you to coat them, then do it. I love matte black anything.

They'll look good whichever you go with.

Take a quarter out and flip for it.

if THAT's the case, I'll save myself the few hundred bucks. Cuz I gotta fork out a few hundred to fix the bumper, respray and clear bra! And the rieger needs a big bra. Gotz some big boobies.

Don't wash the wheel, sooner or later will matte black (cover by brake duct)
